Nowadays because of the increase of people who is investing to cryptoworld some wallet become prone to hackers, the popularity of crypto around the world alarmed and triggered some hackers to hack wallet where the people and investors keep their tokens. Its quite alarming, some are afraid to invest to cryoto because of some news and issues in some wallet.
Just like an account where one's fiat currencies are kept so also is wallet where digital assets or cryptocurrencies of crypto lovers are kept. Can the wallet be vulnerable to hacking and if possible how can that happen? If you have experienced it before, I want to learn from your experience.
When people talk about being hacked they do not talk about the technology behind bitcoin or most cryptocurrencies being hacked, most of the time what it happens is that hackers were able to access your passwords, your private keys, or you downloaded by mistake your wallet from a different site than the official one, so most of the hacks that we see in the forum are because people did not took care of their coins as they should.
Every software based technological product can be hacked. Some of them are hard to hack, and some of them can be piece of cake.
My friend experienced a wallet hack once. She realized that her wallet is empty after a few hours when she wanted to send some of the coins she had to another friend.
Later, we have come to a conclusion that, a hacker was already in her computer and read the cached properties. Then he/she sucked the wallet.
This is one example that we've experienced. I don't know the other types of hacking crypto wallets. But I am sure that everything can be hackable if it is a software, or contains a software.

Yes, your wallet can be hacked. This applies both to the wallet for cryptocurrency MEW, and ordinary wallets for Fiat money. For cryptocurrency storage, I recommend using a hardware wallet, this is the best way to protect yourself.
Yes, it happened so many times, even there were very unique hacks when a hacker entered the wallet and took only the ethereum from there and did not touch any tokens anymore, even if there were not several tens of tokens there. These are interesting facts, the hacker believed in the ethereum the most. )

I have never experienced a hacking case as long as I always prioritize security first. usually, hackers will target randomly or servers from the wallet. yes that's what happened.
but it's not easy because every wallet has an online system that can detect any suspicious things. so the point is, you must prioritize your own security.
Hacking your wallet is 100% possible that's if you are careless about it, most hacker don't do things that are really special just spam through some ads or fake related site those are the common ones I think, another thing is those airdrop site where you insert your password and email never use the same password for filling airdrop site as the same one for your email, I believe that another place where people are being scammed. There are many ways hacker use just don't be too exited about free stuff they kills...
Wallet hacking is possible. I experience that my wallet have been hacked by anonymous person. I used my wallet for transacting from different account that he/ she hacked also. They get also my coins that have been important, why I am holding that. Now I create another one wallet then transfer all the coins to avoid getting all the coins.
If we take into account the presence of social engineering, it is quite possible. Understand, the weakest part of any system is people.
I think any wallet can be hacked. There is nothing that can not be hacked, but it will take time and just the success of the hack depends on what information about the victim has an attacker. The more information he knows about it the more likely that the attempt will be successful
I did not hear about breakings of local purses. In too time online of purses it to be told about breaking much. But I consider that if you do not bring a virus on the working computer or you will not give a key by mistake. That nobody will be able to crack your purse.
It is possible to crack a purse, but only if you are not careful and you will allow to crack the purse. You can light the key and then the purse will be able to be cracked.
I thought the hacked wallet was the owner's fault, as my experience of wrongly visiting the web exchange turned out to be a phishing website. I import wallet with a private key and what happens after that my token changes hands. that's my worst experience.
I have repeatedly been convinced that any problems with a cryptocurrency wallet primarily depend on user actions. As far as you are attentive and in the safety of your personal data, your funds will be safe.

Yes it is possible that your wallet may get hacked. There have some reason for this. Sometimes users share their private keys on some phishing site and for this hackers easy get access into wallet. Also sometime users get scamed by clicking on some unusual link.
I hardly doubt the possibility of crypto wallets been vulnerable to hacks. The only way I believe one's wallet can be hacked is though stealing the user's key either through a phishing site or email or a users who stored it on the cloud.
Yes it is possible on some kind of wallets where the security is not much secured when compared to the private key wallet,when you store your coins in a wallet where you needs private keys to access then it is impossible to hack them but sometime your system can be phished and your credendibles can be stoles so you need to be aware of phishig links while entering your wallet details.
It is always possible as long as you are not taking care of your belongings.
It is our task to protect ourselves and wallet for the hackers.
private keys are made from numbers and letters which is impossible to remember in a short period of time.
i know that there is no one putting the keys manually it is always a copy/paste method.
never put your keys in public.

Most wallets are hackable when their details slip into the hands of hackers. This is why wallet creators warn severely and choosing strong passwords or storing private keys in cold storage(decentralized storage form) . Storing a private key online can be very risky.
even very likely the wallet is hacked. Until now there have been a number of cases of people experiencing wallet hacking because they were negligent or not careful in using their computer devices. Therefore, in addition to choosing a wallet that has been proven safe, we also have to be careful because hacking can come from anywhere.
