there is no way to recover when your wallet is hacked by someone, or you forget the private key. in other words no one can access your wallet anymore.
It's true what some people said above, that the wallet that has been cracked will no longer be recoverable, and if it is possible, of course I will be very happy because I also experienced it. Where all the tokens in my wallet were used up were stolen by everyone. And at that time I was very sad.
There's is no way to recover a stolen wallet unless they give it back. We have almost $5m lost Bitcoin that can't be recover. The same apply to you. That's why the most important way here is make your wallet safe all the time.
A hacker will usually not just go after your wallet file, he or she will also try to sneak a keylogger onto your computer to get the password you use to access your wallet.
This is why a good anti-virus program with web protection is crucial for Bitcoin and other Crypto currency users, to reduce the chances that a keylogger might be sneaked onto your computer.

What AV's do is to compare signatures of applications run with their database.
This means if the AV didn't yet declare this particular application as malware, it won't be treated as malware.
In addition to that.. anyone who properly knows how to code or create malware, does know how to avoid detection by AV's.
The only kind of malware which will be detected by AV's are either (1) unchanged for several months/years or (2) made by a script-kiddie.
A damaged wallet is usually recovered from the Seed that are generated, when you setup the wallet for the first time. 
Not every wallet does give a (mnemonic) seed to backup.
Core for example doesn't use mnemonic seeds and doesn't explicitly recommend to backup the seed (master private key).
I'd assume that the majority of core user only have file backups (of the wallet.dat).
If you have you magic words you should be able to recover this wallet.
maybe with another provider.
this is a simple matter if we cannot access and maintain our wallets and the results and fill in all the contents will all disappear and cannot be stopped about this in my opinion and in my opinion should prevent theft of the wallet maybe with another provider.

I think it depends on how your wallet protects you under these circumstances but most of the time if it is stolen, they put money inside your wallet and steal the funds right away and I don't think you will ever recover what you lost.
