We should aware on that on how to secure our digital wallet. Hacking maybe become posible if we dont secure our private key. In my oppinion and i hope this well not happen to me, there are posibilities to hack our wallet and we need more security on our private key.
-
If they can get your private key they can hack your wallet. There is lots of ways to do it.
But they can't bruteforce your wallet.
-
Yes, there is a possibility to highjack wallet, there are many tools available which can do that.
-
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.
Yes I think It is possible. We must be carreful to safe your pw and privat key.
-
In crypto currency hacking it is possible,in a token storage wallet.and this I think often happens and many people lose tokens.and I think to maintain digital assets,we don't just store in one wallet.But we can store assets in several wallets because they are safer and you have to keep you wallet private key properly.
-
very possible, why? because I have experienced it, I admit that the ETH wallet on my MEW has been stolen maybe all because I am not careful in exploring websites, there are some websites that deliberately spread phishing to steal their users wallets, it's better if your wallet wants to be safer save passwords and private keys offline
-
that's imposible and too difficult for hacker to hacking the Blockchain wallet, but other story when hacking are made by human error ex: their are scammed from phising link, or attacked by virus on their computer and make hacker can access all of your data
-
Of course, it's very possible. There are many ways wallets can be hacked. Ethereum wallet hacking has been happening, you need to be careful with your private keys and don't just click on any site. There are fake eth wallet sites that once you click they get all your information thereby hacking the wallet.
-
Yes wallet hacking is possible, mostly when you are careless over your private key and website.
-
yes hacker can hack your wallet if you are unaware .u have to keep your private key safely and do not disclose it.
also before clicking a website you have to understand if its real or fake.
-
Actually wallet hacking is possible and it has been happening, though i have experienced it, but i have heard many of my colleagues complained of been hacked.
Now, one of the ways we can get hacked is through public WIFI. Crypto is 24/7 and hackers know it, and access to Wi-Fi makes it tempting to log into our accounts, wallets and exchanges on-the-go. But this is risky.
The vulnerability that comes with public Wi-Fi is that they make it easy for hackers to access computers that are connected to that network. The following will make it easier for hackers to access to your devices through public Wifi.
1.Malware
2.Wi-Fi sniffing
To avoid this issue, don’t have your Wi-Fi turned on, allowing it to search and connect public Wi-Fi connections. Have it turned off and carry with you an internet dongle for private connection instead.
-
everything is possible but it's hard to hack a wallet if you have a private key. The easies way to loose your coins is to store your private key in your laptop/pc and digit it on a fake website thinking it's genuine... I strongly recommend you a ledger nano s so that you have to confirm Physically every transactions.
-
Hack is not possible is you keep safe your password, keystore of passphares.
What chetares can do la phishing.
Stay safe!

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.
I have never had the experience thank God! But the one thing in common with all who has states that either they mistakenly revealed their private keys to a third party or filled a form from and email with their wallet details.

I think every online transactions are hackable. So We must be carreful to keep pasword and privat key. Dont save it in device or handphone.
-
It is very possible, especially for exchange wallets. In this case, it is very recommended to save bitcoin on hard wallets. For altcoins, you never try to store them on exchanges wallets for long time. You also must be careful to save the data of your wallets.
-
So far as I know, the wallet is available to be hacked and We already know about hacking of the wallet on the exchange and the MEW. So sad, but this is true. If we still use the online wallet, the possibilities of getting hacked is bigger than offline. That is why we must be careful in saving the key.
-
for the problem of hacking my wallet I have never experienced it, but in my opinion it can happen to be done, because thieves use various ways to get what they want.
-
In my oppinion and i hope this well not happen to me, there are posibilities to hack our wallet and we need more security on our private key.
-
That depends on which information regarding the account is linked. If a hacker get hold of your address there is no way for him to have your account. But if by mistake he got your pass phrase am sorry your funds will all be gone.
-
That can happen, the majority happens because of their own carelessness. Teledor in putting down wallet storage data, cannot keep wallet privacy data from people around. Careless in using the internet so that it provides a gap for hackers to be able to browse wallet data. Everything that smells online is quite risky, so be as careful as possible in accessing the site.

Many cryptocurrency wallet are vulnerable to hack. There has been cases of wallet hack and that happens by you making a mistake
-
Yes this is possible especially if youre careless enough to click bait some malicious files that has been sent to you by random peer. If someone wants to scam you, they need to send something and once you clicked it some files were visible on your tabs and thats it bye coins.
-
The security of your wallet should be provided solely by you. Currently own purse impossible to crack.
-
It is very difficult to crack the wallet, because it is technically impossible. The weakest part of protecting your wallet is you.
-
Yes, It's possible,but it is not easy, It will need extraordinary techniques for hackers. If you are not careless and always try as safe as possible.Then you will be able to avoid all kinds of hacking.

-
I am strongly convinced that once the issue is related to online business it is always vulnerable to hacking matter. Taking care is good enough to take off the careless mindset.
-
I heard a lot about hacking wallets
my friend was stolen from the wallet 15 $
I myself have been doing cryptocurrency for about a year and everything was fine, nothing was lost
-
The intruders are not interested in the wallets that hold a pair of bitcoins. They need Internet services in databases that store a large number of keys or bitcoins. These are bitcoin exchanges, miners, online stores and owners of large amounts of bitcoins!
-
-
It is true that Bitcoin or Etheruem wallet is very difficult to crack for the Private Key because it takes years to be able to break the private key and that too if the Bitcoin exists. LOL
If we are careless, then there lies our fault for our wallet assets.
-
I think wallet hacking is possible whether BTC or ETH or any others. There are experts on crypto hacking and i advice that we sholud be very vigilant at all time and secure our keys. In recent time, there has been news various forms of hack, from individuals to crypto exchanges, a little mistake and a follow up on a particular account might lead to hackers breaking through accounts.
-
I think to hack any purse possible. so on your PC or some kind of web wallet of some coin. To reduce the probability of hacking your web wallet, I recommend checking whether you are on a fishing site. If you use a cool purse on a PC, keep private keys on usb flash and in any case not on your PC. Also, write down your private key to your notebook.
-
When exchanges can be hacked our wallets can also be hacked. Yes hacking is possible only when we are ignorant about our keys and password. Always avoid clicking on phising, Spam and from unknown sources emails. Click only links that you receive from reliable resources and always use antivirus in your system. Always use incognito or private window to access your wallet. Use all security measures to avoid hacking.
-
Often people confuse hacking and phishing. Blockchain technology has high security, it's almost impossible to crack it, a lot of stolen funds were stolen thanks to access to passwords and private information.
-
Hackers may take a large portion of the funds from a wallet that has a large enough balance and they will hack a hot wallet in crypto exchanges because they can take substantial funds from the exchange wallet.
If you use an online wallet like MEW, make sure you always see the link from your browser, so that it doesn't enter the phishing site.
below there is a list of phishing sites and you should avoid them

These hacking events will always be on our agenda. Unfortunately, these hacking events, bank robberies, simple cases of theft will be in our lives as well. We will always take new technologies, new measures, and hackers will try to overcome them. You better get used to it.
-
It's not suppose to be possible for wallet hacking but it can only too place when you expose your private key publicly that's the only time anybody can hack into your wallet, people can hack into your wallet through Bluetooth hack , Wi-Fi hacker devices but never you dispose your private information to any third party to prevent hackers not to penetrate into your wallet that's only when is not going to be possible hacking in your wallet.
-
in the digital world everything is possible, and to avoid it all we need to provide strong security to avoid hackers.
-
There is no digital wallet that is 100% safe, even though the external wallet is more recommended when considering its security. But humans will definitely make mistakes and mistakes, you have to back up / save your important data, avoid phishing sites, and most importantly be careful when surfing the internet.
-
And that is what is being talked about at this time where people start complaining day by day because their wallets are hacked. I think hacking will never be overcome because there is always a way for crime, but to minimize it we must always be vigilant when we will use our wallets.

hacker attacks on our wallets are very things that can happen,
one of the reasons is because we installed the application on the tracker on our cellphone, so hackers can see our phone remotely.
one prevention is to keep the wallet separate from the cellphone and PC, such as ledger nano.
-
No there has no impossible for hackers. But if we census it will decreased. And we shoule use MetaMusk it save our wallet.

One of the reasons why I do not use exchanges and purses on my phone is that it is very easy to lose their money and passwords through them. Also, in many people there is a code generator program to enter the exchange so I would not advise at all to somehow use the Internet smartphone for those who have google code generator. In the smartphone is very easy to catch the virus
-
We have already seen many exchange site's wallet getting hacked like binance, cryptopia, etc. I don't know how they are doing that but I think bruteforcing of privatekey is possible they they have just lacked of security on where they store their privatekey
-
Well, it all depends on you
do not visit suspicious sites
keep your keys in a safe place
when activating the key, make sure that you were on the original site
-
My friend's ethereum wallet got hacked 2 weeks ago. He told me that he did not save his private key in any computer. He had written it down in a notebook, also he had not checked his wallet using any private key or metamask since early 2018. He was checking his balance from ethplorer.
I think it can be because of the key generators which are scary...
-
you are the security. everything depends on you. if you allow your keys to be exposed. definitely, you will loose your account to hackers. learn to protect and secure your keys. that what crypto is all about.
-
There is no perfect system in the digital world. Wallet always has a chance to hack. That's why wallet developers still improve its security. I think hackers also become smarter to steal the tokens/coins on wallets.
-
Even if they can't bruteforce your wallet, they can get your private key with phishing or trojan, so we have to be very careful with the way our stoking our private keys, actually, the best way is Ledger, the new one (Nano X) have a Bluetooth connection, if you holding some big value of cryptocurrency I think it's a must-have.
-
it's very possible, I've experienced my wallet being hacked. all my tokens in the wallet disappear instantly and only a few tokens remain. even though I don't have ethereum competed to send a token to another wallet.
-
it often happens if you open a suspicious website and attach the wallet address. do not carelessly attach addresses on unknown websites. it triggers your wallet to be hacked. I have experienced this.
-
Yes wallet hacking can be very much possible if you did not protect your private key when you allow third party to have access to your private information, for you to be Free from wallet hacking you have to secure your wallet key and never share your wallet key to any electronic devices that may cause leakage to your wallet if not you will get hacked.
