How are BTC wallets hacked?

same way as other accounts online that get hacked, just dont click or go anywhere online that you dont know...

Manipulating people into making stupid choices... And virus are able to do it.
Many modern virus have bitcoin stealers, obviously not the wallet but your bitcoin. Thus, everytime you send a payment it goes to hacker and you wont notice because of the random

If you're asking for methods this is probably not the best place to do it. It might be considered "black hat"

Programs will steal the wallet.dat file of your wallet. if you didnt encrypt it, they can get your private keys and steal your money.

A friend told me they just use bots for it but Im not sure. Ill ask him later this day

Basically. the wallets are not what holds the bitcoins per say... Technically all of your bitcoins are stored and dictated by the ledger. but its heavily encrypted so as a general thumb of rule only you who know the decryption key can use a wallet client to make changes with your wallet within the ledger.

now this is not entirely accurate but it should dumb it down a little to make the concept easier to grasp. hope that helped

when hackers hack it lol :D - well, phishing sites what ever idc

Using piahing pages or sinply gwtting infected with a rat stealer
