Most likely the attack will not be affected by your wallet, but your device is accessing the Internet, that is, a computer or phone. The phone is very vulnerable. than the PC, because of not complex antivirus programs and security measures.

I do not know what you're talking about. If it is a cold wallet then nothing is worth discussing. Mew wallet is the theory that it is difficult to hack the algorithm or computing power of any size. Cause mainly due to carelessness of the user, the machine infected with malicious code, exposing the key due to shared computers, ..

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.
Hacking of wallet is not common and I believed it mostly occurred as a result of submitting your private keys mistakenly instead of wallet address when filling some forms. I will advice you guys to be very careful to avoid this kind of mistake and regret .

Basically, all known cases of hacking wallets occur through the fault of the user. It is necessary to check hundred times what you do, what files you open and on what page of the website you pass.

It is possible if we click any untrusted site or email which has any phishing link. we always have to secure our private key to the safest place and never share it to anyone in any condition only hardware wallets are fully secured and it cannot be a hack.

Yes they are hackable. desktop wallets even more so. I am yet to be convinced about the security of hard wallets also, as I know a guy who lost a ton of money during an update of his hard wallet.

yes, it is so better make a copy of your account password and make sure you keep it in the most safe place, and make it a habit to maek a strong password and make a change from time to time...

Yes it is possible for your wallet to be hacked if you do not protect the information that is associated with your account. But as long as the passwords and private keys to your account are stored properly then you should be free from worrying about hacking. As long as something is connected to the internet then there is every possibility of getting hacked.

If seen in the existing security system then it will be difficult even impossible to compromise wallet. the private key needed to open the wallet and this, of course, are not possible. It could be that many cases occurred much that store private key them in online so it was taken by the hackers. or even open up the phishing website and that never happened because of the insistence on a great gift that when sign up forget if they input is the private key.

to make sure whether a personal wallet can be plowed or not, I think it's very difficult, because there are 41 characters that form digital signatures in every personal wallet, from the many cases that have happened, hacking, losing digital assets holders, it happened because of the owner's frustration The wallet is inadvertently storing the private key

Yes, everything is hackable. People can make mistake and go to a fake website to open his wallet. As you need a software to access your coin, this software can be hacked.

The Internet is a hacker's stronghold, and in this fertile soil, no one's digital assets are considered perfectly safe. So we must protect our wallets. Regular anti-virus attacks can prevent wallets from being hacked.

Nothing is impossible in the internet these days, hackers are making impossible things to possible, and one of those are wallet hacking. Private key is the most important thing we should keep inside a very "secured box" and we have to make sure that our wallet which we are using is a safe one(that is why I'd prefer a hardware wallet) than those web wallets. Web wallets are too vulnerable and bugs could be found that could be the reason why it could get hacked by someone.

In a system, there is always a hole which is the only thing that hackers need to penetrate the system to stole all of the money there, without leaving any trace and any amount of money, all gone.

From my experience, what I've seen, people get caught up in the swindlers when they use so-called "fishing" sites. That is similar in name, but different for 1 letter for example. Beware of this

Yes it is if you are bounty hunter then it means everyone knows your walled address and then can check your balance too and hackers can attack anytime. So best way to keep yourself safe is use high security wallets or hardware wallets.

Hacked wallets of course this is very possible, there are many cases of users losing their coins. There will always be loopholes for hackers to hack their wallets, so we must be vigilant and careful in storing coins in the wallet. Most wallets are hacked because of phishing, so someone can easily access the wallet and take coins secretly.

Yes, wallet hacking is possible. I remember in Apr 2018, Mew have been attacked and users were stolen more than $17M. MyEtherWallet said some of their DNS servers were hacked to redirect users to a fake Web site. You can refer here https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988787116015415296

The possibility of hacking wallet is not equal if no information about wallet is leaked from your side. Vigilance is necessary for this not to be a Wallet hack.

Most often, wallets are hacked on various exchanges to which access is provided by login and password.
Less often crack koslki, access to which go on a private key. This occurs when the computer is infected with a virus.

You write nonsense. This is not a hacking, phishing, replacement files, which has nothing to do with the code / wallet server (especially if it's offline wallet, which is used by all the appropriate people). And this is completely the fault of the owner of the wallet, nothing more.
