Wallet hacking is it possible?

[yousufatik]

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.

[bdsharminsoltana]

It all depends on what kind of wallet you use. I choose MetaMask and cold wallets. Also recently released MEWconnect application with a high level of security. I have not yet had a single case of hacking.

[Zsangx12]

The mew was once hacked. It happened due to server's DNS error and the security of the MEW wallet was poor. I recommend using Metamask or Mewconnect.

I think there will always be enthusiasts who can hack a particular wallet, and no matter what.  And I mean just to crack and not just get someone's private key!

[fritzbitcoin]

Yes, hacking is possible even you have the super hardware wallet, these hackers create bots, apps that might deceive you to give your  paraphrase or keywords. You have the control of your assets but  you have to be extra careful.

Yeah, it is possible. Especially for exchange wallets. That is why you don't ever think to store all your coins on exchange wallet. For the safest wallet, I agree with MetaMask. MetaMask has higher protection for our coins, I also recommend it to you.

A wallet can be hacked, but it requires some kind of carelessness from the wallet owner too, I think if you upload a private key or password on some phishing links or store your data in some unsafe places online, your wallet can be hacked. The point is that hackers can hack because of the carelessness of the users themselves in addition to the presence of bugs in the wallet.

Many wallets have been hacked already. This is mainly due to the owners carelessness. Hacks were done from phishing sites, downloading applications, emails, etc.

i believe its posible realy realy posible i my self realy realy confuse my self is that my wallet and another account password save ? or people alredy know that because they want to wait the right time to wait . malware and thing like that growing fast af there even a malware or virus not rember that wil infected you just by click pops up So who know

[bhm45]

Of course it is very possible, we all know that the biggest problem with wallets is security, even though all security features have been activated but this has never stopped hacking cases.

[TERENCIO]

Yes it is possible even your cold wallets is also hackable if you store your private key and seed phrase  in your computer.   Keep everything safe, be careful on the site that you click.

[backfirst77]

It's very possible that our wallet was hacked by someone else if we don't keep our private key in a very safe place. Because they can steal our data by using phishing methods via email or web links that are distributed. So never open a foreign and suspicious web.

[wokee12]

Absolutely possible, hacker can steal private key with phising, dns leak, or wallet site compromised with hacker. So I suggest to use hardware wallet

[ayatoslaw]

there is no security that is really safe, and the wallet can also be hacked,
but most hackable wallets don't activate the 2FA feature,
so, I suggest activating the 2FA feature in your wallet.
what if there is no 2FA feature?
then you better move and look for a wallet that provides 2FA features so that your wallet is safer.

I dont believe that hackers reach any cold wallet but there are so many wallet up for phones or computers. And if developers of these wallet's create a back door before publish it, its not hard to hack it. Also I trust hardware wallets(like Ledger) but for me the best choice is keep in paper cold storage(if you dont move your coins too much)
