I read in an article here that even your voice mail can be hacked. OK. So, what is the possible risk if it is hacked? I don't get it.

It depends on your mail, he can get your private mails and use your number for illegal use and can also wrong mails to your contacts lists.

The risk is what you say on the voice mail. If its something that can be compromised or can risk your identity like passwords, bank account details or some very personal info then it will pose risk to you.

Yes, voicemail hacking does exist. And it is always better that you turn on your voice mail password for more security (in case you haven't done it yet)

The only thing they be able to do is listen to your voice mail and they could possible block you from accessing your voice mail.

High bills,criminal use of the number,tarnished online reputation are some major causes resulting from hacked voice mail account.Even if credit card linked with it can also be in danger.
