People get hacked all the time, only a few are able or willing to come and share their experience. As soon as your private keys or back-up phrase are compromised, you are doomed. Personally, my bitcoin got stolen on a staking platform simply because I had not activated 2FA security verification. This experience has made me to activate Google Authenticator verification on all platforms wherever it's applicable.
Don't get paranoid. If you take the necessary precautions, then the chance of your wallet getting hacked is near zero. I first purchased BTC in 2014. Ever since that date, none of my wallets have got hacked. The trick is to follow basic safety precautions, such as email verification and 2FA. Also, if you go for email verification, you need to create a fresh email rather than using the id that you use elsewhere. And Gmail is the best, because it flags whenever a login occurs from an IP which is previously not used.
