Can Bitcoin Be Hacked?

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency powered by blockchain — a secure, public ledger of transactions.

Bitcoin’s core blockchain has never been hacked since its launch in 2009. It’s extremely secure by design.

It uses advanced cryptography and a global network of miners who verify transactions with massive computing power.

Yes — crypto exchanges like Mt. Gox and FTX have been hacked, losing millions. These are third-party platforms, not Bitcoin itself.

If users don’t secure their private keys, wallets can be hacked. It’s like someone stealing the keys to your safe.

In theory, yes. If one group controls over 50% of mining power, it could manipulate transactions — but it’s nearly impossible today.

Hackers often target humans, not code. Phishing, scams, and fake apps are real threats.

Use hardware wallets, enable 2FA, avoid shady sites, and never share your private keys.

Bitcoin’s blockchain is extremely secure — but your own habits are the weakest link. Stay alert, stay protected.
