Android devices might be prone to allow hackers to steal crypto wallet info

Recommended Posts

I don't think so that Android devices can be attacked by hacker. If Google or any other company is providing you the support and the security then your device is safe and secure but if you root your device that may result in a lot of hacker May reach you and may still your personal data. On Android devices your account can never be hacked or your data can never be stolen if you don't tell anyone about your personal data by yourself that's I believe about the security system of the Android and the sport companies like Microsoft Apple and Google.

You're right in this regard. As we all know android security system can be modified by mobile developers or any unauthorized person can break into the system and hack our cryptocurrency wallet. To be safe from all these online attacks, we must not be installing apps from unverified sources and never use unsecure Wi-Fi network in public places, as hackers can access our data through the internet, so we should always be using secure Wi-Fi or mobile data in public places.

When you hear, kucoin or binance is hacked, you know, no matter what you do, you are going to be hacked. Ofcourse you can take the due precaution, but once you have a lot of crypto, and you come in the attention of the hackers, its just a matter of time..

Even if we take the absolute perfect steps to increase our security there can still be problems with our hot wallets. For this reason I now recommend to have very simple funds in our hot wallets and have the most of our investment in cold storage to be completely safe.

You should definitely be cautious about the hackers not only in the Android platform but also in the PC platform. What are the best things you could do is to get a wallet , USB wallet that which you can use and carry around with you.

I have no trust at Android apps of crypto because of many reasons they are from open source and the developed by unknown source, those apps have full details of android set they can read all messages, call logs ,contacts and access to our mike and cameras. Which  is very dangerous always force stop them if you have to use them.

Whether you are using an Android phone or an iPhone or a PC or any other device make sure that you install the necessary protocols and firewalls that would protect your device from getting hacked. In today's cyber world the chances of scams and other fraudulent activities are on the rise. So it is of high need that the users be cautious and take the necessary steps in order to avoid such traps.

We are now in the online world and nothing is safe in this world becasue the hackers will know that how to hack the mobile and laptops and also we use the online wallets the owners of that wallets know our password and they can easily send our money to another wallet.

I would say that when it comes to keep our cryptos safe and out of the reach of hackers we should really make it difficult for them to access. Then, wallets operating in Android phones may not be the ideal option for this, given the security pitfalls we all are aware of.

I remember reading about a huge vulnerability in android a year ago. I completely forgot this so perhaps it was patched by the android engineers or it was buried in the news and nobody cared to discuss it more. There wasn't any major hack happened from this so we are probably fine.

The reason why they are prone is because your digital phones has your important data related to you that could be used in order to gain access of your account to any platforms they wanted to hijacked. I think it is not only to phones but other gadgets as well. I do not think that it might have the same thing to other operating system since we know that android has the large number of users based on my assumption. I think that apple has more concrete digital security about this kind of things but you are also giving data information about yourself to them as well.

Security is a very important factor and we must be careful to open links that may be infected and could steal all our data. I am always very careful in that regard and I never trust strangers!

There was a vulnerability that I remember reading about but this was in the android and not in software crypto wallets were using, I think that this should be fixed now, but since android belongs to Google now, perhaps there isn't so much secure and we shouldn't trust Google with anything.

That's why it is always advised to use secondary email for crypto currency wallet because primary email of your android can give easy access of hackers to your wallet. Using an offline hardware wallet is also a good option.

Thanks for the information, I read some of the post and while it was old news it seems that there can be threats where we are not expecting them, so I will not risk with big crypto in my mobile wallet but instead will keep holding most of my investment in cold storage and move only small amount to mobile.

This bug is reoccurring as there was a Strandhogg 2.0 bug found in May and enabled hijacking of android phones and bringing up fake login screens to steal passwords. Could be that it was fixed with a patch but there will be more.

I never keep private data on mobile phones, I always thought it was very high risk to have my private data on a cellphone where it can be easily stolen and hacked. We can still use our mobile wallets with a maximum of $100 inside just to give presentation to newbies with crypto wallets.

I think it is a big problem. Hacker can also hack from pc or desktop. We shoud secure our mail . We should not install unnecessary  apps.  Because  there are many apps if you install it then your account  will be hack. So be careful.Keep safe your account .

Thanks for this information. It is another reason why we should not trust hot wallets but prefer to store our private keys offline and be careful on storing our private keys. It is important to remember that this vulnerability along with sim swap are big dangers for mobile phones.

Not only clicking the links but also the apps are venerable to hackers and the android system is fully dumped as any intermediate level hacker can hack it by using different technique.

Hackers can enter any Android device easily so the private key to your wallet should not be stored in your own Android device and the corresponding email of your wallet must not be always logged in to your mobile.

    • We Unchain Real-World Assets Onchain Empowering Investors with Real-World Assets & Real Yield TVVIN is an accessible ecosystem that empowers investors in the Real-World Asset (RWA) Market. Through our omni-chain Platform, investors gain transparency and trust when investing into diverse assets starting with gold, silver, platinum and palladium and thereafter expanding into other asset classes. The TVVIN Platform offers access to tokenised assets in unit sizes that are affordable and made available to anyone, anywhere, democratising accessibility and providing easily tradable and liquid positions, that are instantly settled and securely recorded on-chain.  TVVIN has developed a unique model whereby digital RWA Yield Vaults offer new financial passive income potential that's able to provide advanced ways investors monetise their static assets.  The TVVIN Platform enables a more stable and secure option for market participants seeking stability, while enjoying growth opportunity simultaneously. Own Real-World Assets & Earn Real Yield TVVIN’s RWA Yield Vaults allow holders to digitally vault their RWA tokens, such as gold, for a specified period and earn yield. In order to vault RWA tokens, a corresponding and required amount of TVVIN's utility token, $TVVIX must also be vaulted. Upon withdrawal of the RWA tokens from the vault, this corresponding amount of $TVVIX will also be released, along with a yield paid in $TVVIX which can, if wanted, be exchanged into more RWA tokens. The yield is generated from putting the underlying assets to work using low risk financial instruments.  Legacy Meets Liquidity TVVIN introduces TVVIN Gold ($VVG) as its inaugural RWA-backed token. The gold is investor-grade, LBMA-Certified, and securely vaulted in the highly desirable Channel Islands jurisdiction in the vaults of our financially regulated and audited precious metal partner. TVVIN also has access to other precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium, which will be tokenised in quick succession after launching our gold token. Other asset classes will follow, and $TVVIX token holders will have a unique opportunity to both propose and vote on onboarding new tokenisation projects through the TVVIN DAO. By integrating desired assets and creating a digital twin of these on the blockchain, TVVIN establishes a transparent and efficient environment for trading and investing in RWAs. ROADMAP TOKENOMICS The TVVIN utility token, $TVVIX, is a deflationary token that both enables the RWA Yield Vault Functionality and allow for governance participation, mainly in proposing and voting on new tokenisation projects. Part of all Platform transaction fees are used to buy $TVVIX off the market, where it is burnt, contributing to the deflationary aspect of our token design. TOKEN UTILITY Functionality of $TVVIX Leverage TVVIX tokens give access to our vaults, where holders can deposit and farm their RWA tokens for yield. The $TVVIX requirement corresponds to deposit size. As demand for RWAs rise, so does demand for TVVIX. As we further develop the platform, further planned functionality will be announced. Governance TVVIX token holders have decision making power, proposing and voting on changes to the TVVIN platform as well as funding initiatives for community projects and further RWA-backed tokenisations.  Staking Holders can stake their TVVIX tokens, contributing to network growth and earn rewards, increasing their token holding. GOVERNANCE Power to the People TVVIX token holders will have the ability to propose changes, and vote on governance proposals related to the development and direction of the platform. This includes decisions on network upgrades, changes to the tokenomics and fees, and the addition of new RWA tokens. $TVVIX token holders who participate in governance proposals will be rewarded with $TVVIX tokens. The exact amount of rewards will depend on the number of tokens staked by the user and the outcome of the governance proposal. By empowering our community to participate in the decision making process, TVVIN creates a more democratic and inclusive ecosystem that serves the needs and interests of all TVVIN stakeholders. We believe that a community driven approach is instrumental in achieving our vision of democratising access to real-world assets and disrupting traditional financial markets for the better. HOW CAN I GET $TVVIX? Private & Public Sale There are two current ways to get hold of $TVVIX. We are currently conducting a Private Sale and we will also have a Public Sale in early Q3 together with launchpads.  TOKEN SALE https://docs.tvvin.com/tvvix-token/how-can-i-get-usdtvvix/token-sale For more information about TVVIN, please visit:  • Website: http://tvvin.com/  • Telegram: https://t.me/TVVIN_RWA  • Twitter: https://x.com/TVVIN_RWA  • Discord: https://discord.com/invite/VxerJqkkZ4  
    • Итак. Вы решили подключить на свой сайт платежку и столкнулись с вопросом: какие бывают платежные шлюзы?   Все платежные решения можно разделить на 4 категории. Первые 2 категории достаточно трудны в реализации и их использование может вызвать лишь дополнительные проблемы, но проигнорировать их мы не можем:   Собственная платежная система   Это, пожалуй, самое трудно в реализации решение. Без своей команды разработчиков, которые создадут и будут поддерживать платежную систему, не обойтись. При этом придется разобраться в огромном количестве тонкостей этой сферы. На выходе, попытка сэкономить на комиссии готовых решений обернется еще большими расходами и потерей времени. Подойдет, пожалуй, только для очень крупных компаний со своим штатом разработчиков.       Платежный шлюз от местного банка   Крупные компании, работающие в одном регионе могут смело подключать шлюзы от банков. Если же компания работает в нескольких регионах, такое решение будет не лучшим, так как для каждого региона придется подключать отдельный банк, а это накладно и с точки зрения разработки и с точки зрения времени, потраченного на сбор документов и открытие компаний в каждой стране присутствия.     А вот оставшиеся два варианта – это то, чем пользуются компании из разных стран и работающие в разных направлениях: от сервисов по приему СМС и продаже цифровых товаров, до крупных Gambling и Betting-компаний, которым нужно быстро и четко обрабатывать платежи из разных стран.     Внешний шлюз   Отличное решение для компаний, которые работают в нескольких регионах, либо по какой-то другой причине не могут, или не хотят подключать шлюз от банков. Именно это решение в последние годы использует большинство представителей мелкого, среднего и даже крупного бизнеса. Оно наиболее простое и подключить такое решение можно в считанные дни.       Встроенный по API шлюз   Второе по популярности решение. Оно смотрится максимально органично для покупателя, ведь все действия будут происходить в рамках одного сайта, без лишних редиректов. Но в данном решении продавцу придется самостоятельно разработать страницу для приема платежей, подключить обработку платежей через API платежного сервиса, а также позаботиться о сохранности платежных данных, если они будут собираться в рамках выбранного платежного метода.     Кстати, оба варианта доступны в процессинговом сервисе MoneyGate.

    • CryptoNews of the Week     – The Republican candidate for the upcoming US elections, Donald Trump, has declared his intention to become the "cryptocurrency president." Speaking in San Francisco, he presented himself as a defender of digital assets and criticized Democrats' attempts to regulate the industry. According to Reuters, Trump raised $12 million for his campaign at an event for venture capitalists from Silicon Valley, organized by Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks at Sacks' mansion in the Pacific Heights area. Media reports indicate that executives from the crypto exchange Coinbase, the founders of the Gemini trading platform, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and other industry representatives were present at the event. Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe shared on X about his participation: "I spoke with six people there. None identified as Republicans. All had voted for or donated to Democrats in the past. Now they support this guy [Trump] for his policies on war, immigration, cryptocurrency, and more. These elections are a referendum on these issues."   – The attitude towards cryptocurrencies will be a key difference between the candidates for the US presidency, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, though neither understands the topic. Billionaire Mark Cuban stated this: "Do you really think [Trump] understands anything about cryptography beyond making money from selling NFTs? Neither candidate understands. But I've often said that Biden will have to choose between [SEC Chairman] Gary Gensler and crypto voters, or it could cost him the White House."  Discussing the upcoming elections on X, ASI crypto-lawyer Preston Byrne noted that Trump's crypto policy is "actually very substantial and well thought out, while Biden's approach is insane and punitive."   – The "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025" was submitted to the US Senate on 3 June 2024. On 5 June, Senator Mark Warner's strategic amendment to this bill was published on the social network X, granting the US president new broad powers. This allows the president to "prohibit any transactions between any person under US jurisdiction and foreign intermediaries in digital asset transactions."  Financial lawyer Scott Johnsson criticized the law due to its wide scope. He sees it as an attempt to control digital assets under the guise of fighting terrorism, as the amendments added by Warner are borrowed from the Anti-Terrorism Financing Act.   – Late in the evening (CET) on 12 June, the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) of the US Federal Reserve will decide on the dollar interest rate. Historically, such decisions have always significantly impacted bitcoin's price. In this regard, ChatGPT-4o AI was tasked with forecasting BTC's price based on technical analysis and financial analysts' assumptions.  According to the AI, bitcoin will trade in the $68,000-73,000 range. However, a rate cut or hints of an upcoming reduction could push BTC beyond this range. In this unlikely economic scenario, ChatGPT-4o predicts the leading cryptocurrency will trade between $73,000 and $75,000 or higher.   – Over the past few days, the crypto market leader has lost nearly 10% in value. Many experts believe this is due to investors' concerns that US inflation will remain high for a long time. Under such conditions, a quick easing of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is unlikely. Enthusiasm was also dampened by the fact that spot bitcoin ETFs broke a 19-day streak of investment inflows. On 11 June alone, industry funds lost nearly $65 million. MN Capital founder and analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that investors are acting more cautiously ahead of the FOMC meeting on 12 June. He does not rule out that seller pressure will persist in the near term. Under such conditions, bitcoin could correct to $65,000. However, van de Poppe does not expect a deep price drop, as significant liquidity is concentrated around the $60,000 mark, indicating strong support, and positive dynamics could be supported by geopolitical instability.   – Traders note that "digital gold" has recently been trading within a narrow range of $66,000 to $72,000. One popular market participant considers the lower boundary an ideal entry point, while entry at the upper boundary carries high risk.  Despite recommended caution, over 70% of the crypto community participants in several surveys believe BTC is on the verge of continued growth. For example, a trader nicknamed Captain Faibik is confident that bitcoin is preparing to break out of the "expanding wedge" technical analysis pattern. Breaking above its upper boundary, in his opinion, will open the way for the cryptocurrency to rise above $94,000. Trader Titan of Crypto, in turn, expects bitcoin to reach $100,000 this summer.  Community participants also point to the activity of large investors as a sign of BTC's growth potential. Whales, according to crypto industry representatives, are actively taking long positions in bitcoin. Cryptoquant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that the $69,000 level has become particularly attractive for large investors.   – By the end of 2024, the first cryptocurrency will be worth between $125,000 and $135,000, according to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe. He believes that one of the catalysts for bitcoin's growth will be the high level of US national debt. "Our macroeconomic climate continues to confirm the necessity of bitcoin. Without a doubt, the US national debt is out of control. […] This situation supports the idea that bitcoin is the gold of the new generation," Belshe said.  He also noted that the US dollar is losing its position as the world's reserve currency due to US foreign policy. The BitGo CEO believes that the country uses the dollar as a weapon and a tool for manipulation. "Thus, the US national debt crisis is one thing, foreign policy and sanctions control is another. And BRICS is providing alternative payment systems. […] This is the story of why bitcoin exists," he concluded.   – The new Binance CEO Richard Teng, who succeeded Changpeng Zhao, believes that bitcoin will soon exceed $80,000. Teng associates the potential new high with the launch of spot BTC-ETFs traded on stock exchanges. This has strengthened trust in the asset, and retail traders and institutions no longer perceive it as risky. The Binance CEO also suggests that cryptocurrency legalization is possible if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States. Declaring himself a "crypto president," Trump stated in May that the US should lead the global crypto industry.   – The self-proclaimed first resident of Bitcoin City, American Corbin Keegan, left El Salvador without seeing his dream city begin to take shape. In November 2021, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced plans to establish a crypto settlement. Upon hearing this news, Keegan left Chicago and headed to the South American country to become Bitcoin City's first resident. However, his patience eventually ran out, and he returned home.  The project's implementation was likely frozen due to a lack of funding. Bukele wanted to raise the necessary funds through the sale of "Volcano Bonds." These securities were planned for release in Q1 this year, but for various reasons, they did not see the light of day.

    • Cardano Node 9.0 будет запущен в июне и подготовит платформу к форку Chang   Cardano Node 9.0 будет запущен в июне. Это обновление подготовит платформу блокчейна к долгожданному форку Chang. Основатель Cardano Чарльз Хоскинсон сообщил об этом событии на X. Хоскинсон отметил, что хардфорк может произойти после того, как 70% операторов стейкингового пула (SPO) установят новый узел. Это приведет Cardano в эпоху Вольтера, ознаменовав состояние полной децентрализации — огромную веху для сети и всей индустрии блокчейнов. Хоскинсон назвал это самым значимым событием в истории Cardano.   Хоскинсон описал путь развития за последнее десятилетие, заявив, что создание Cardano было похоже на строительство нации. Он выразил гордость за сообщество и оптимизм на будущее. Хоскинсон считает, что Cardano дает надежду отрасли и всему миру, и призвал всех оказать значительное влияние в следующем десятилетии. Три дня назад основатель прокомментировал несоответствие между восприятием СМИ и реальным прогрессом Cardano. Он раскритиковал криптовалютные СМИ за непризнание достижений Cardano.
