I have never experienced wallet hacking before but I think wallet hacking is possible. As far as there are tokens available in your wallet, there will be hackers there too.
Sure it is. If you are familiar with the con-artist Ian Balina then he is a living proof that it is likely to happen. His mistake is that the put all his account passwords on a online service that he assumed that is going to make it safe from hackers but he was completely wrong. I advice you guys that for maximum protection, try to write your user login in a piece of paper.
I also never been hacked on android phone wallets, also not on pc even if i take some viruses when i download some software but before install it i scan on virus total and after i delete them. So if take enough measures all can be safe and never can get hacked.
Wallet hacking is possible even when a 2fa is enabled. Secondly exposing one's private key can get easy access to the wallet too.
One of the simplest hack could be made using Bluetooth technology or public WiFi how it was with electric wallet, maybe I am wrong. Their Google spelling checker was one of biggest fail in crypto industry.
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.
It's very possible, if you are careless how to keep your private key, it is possible you easily get hacked also clicking on phishing link can lead to your wallet being hack. i have never fall victim of hack because i guard my private key seriously and i never expose it to third party.
I will say yes to this thread topic, hackers have gone far in the business of hacking so they can do anything, although most times it comes from you as the wallet owner.
very likely the wallet can be hacked, I have experienced hacking of coins where the coin was lost in myetherwallet wallet. so it would be best if you have valuable coins stored in an offline wallet like nano ledger or trezzor to avoid hacking.
For hackers, nothing is impossible. Any program can be hacked if not directly, then by means of a virus infection or a Trojan program. The same goes for wallets, from which a password / private key and a seed phrase can be stolen from you.
The best way to protect your wallet from hacking is to install it on a computer that does not have access to the Internet.

Wallet hacking often occurs, this happens usually because of the negligence of the user, who gives a private key to someone else, and the frequent hacking is usually when we are trading on an exchange.
Now hackers are moving in all areas of their DNA can all the paper they want because they have the tools and knowledge that are large enough to do the hacking, and to be an easy thing for them because they are already very experienced in this, especially hacking a wallet security is not guaranteed
I have two sad experiences when I lose my money, even now I dont know for sure how hackers stole from my wallets, after that I bought ledger and still dont feel safety, but much better, I dont hear about hacked ledgers!
If you are using the hardware wallet in an infected computer then you might be in risk, make sure that you have proper security measure before accessing your wallets and make sure you use them on public networks as the risk of data leakage is really high, if you are storing the coins and you own the private key, these measures will help you secure your coins.
Wallet hack, i think it is impossible if it just wallet not exchange wallet.

If a exchange like binance got hacked , it's cold wallet was hacked then you have to be sure that you also get hacked anytime.

Well, of course, it’s impossible to protect yourself from hacking by 100 percent. It is necessary to keep the private keys of the wallets in encrypted form or on encrypted partitions of the hard disk. Also always need to check the browser address bar to protect from phishing.
