Someone recently lost 200 bitcoins when his wallet was hacked. The reason people go into other people's wallet is to steal, and since it's not easy to trace, they mostly get away with it.

Is the reason not so obvious? Why would someone not open their own account but to secretly enter an active trader's account? Of course, it's to steal their assets and I guess it's really difficult to do that these days especially if you don't lose your seed phrase.

I don't have any crypto wallets myself so this is not something I would worry about at the moment, to be honest but I am pretty sure that with crypto wallets there is a two-step authentication that will give you an extra layer of protection on your wallet and at least prevent it from getting hacked as easy as if you didn't enable that at all. Whenever I see two-step authentication I will always be sure to enable it even on the smallest of services just for that peace of mind.

Don't like the two factor authentication because people have complaints about gaining access back to their accounts if they lose the device they used for it. The time it could take to resolve this would give someone sufficient time to wipe your account.
