How are BTC wallets hacked?

specifically talking online not like robbed or anything

Clearly not physically robbed. This is a bitcoin wallet you're talking about.

just don't click on any link in your email related with cryptocurrency
always write them with your hand

Mostly pishers. Haven't really seen exchange get hack in a long time.

Mostly phishing, fortunately this isn't a huge risk if you are a little aware.

Almost impossible, but most of the time it are phishing sites asking for the 12-13 security words that can be used to sweep & import the victims wallet.

I mean if it's like a coinbase account wouldn't it just be like cracking any other account?

Probably. I don't know enough about coinbase to tell you.

People usually get hacked by phishers or RATs.

Definitely would stay away from sketchy ass BTC faucets too etc.
