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

[Yanadia 1517]

About this hackers in my opinion is more risky when using computers or laptops.  Android or Mobile has a higher level of security because it is supported by

layered security system as far as I know

which is protected by the Android company itself.  This news is good but it must also be understood that the problem of hackers on Android occurs because of the users it self.

It is clearly mentioned ,unless you share your details to anybody there is less chances of getting hacked. It is always a good habit to change your passwords once in a week. And never share any password or details on links through emails.

basically not only through android, sir, but also on a desktop or PC where our account can be hacked through our browser or email

I am also worried about this as android phones are not that competent with regards to security as they can be attack by black hat hackers anytime they like. That is why, I rarely using my android phone if I am going to transact any big amounts so I can secure my wallet and my money. 

[Upright 2688]

That's why we have to make our public information public and the private ones, to be most secured from public viewing, and also to make sure your backup bof personal details are not to be compromise

[Hastleking 2]

Almost all devices out there are currently hacked, however, it will depend on the fact that end-user work by using these individuals, together with on their behavior, whether or not they usually are very careful or maybe definitely not. Most of us can’t claim beyond doubt in the event we can easily possibly be hacked, and so we should be aware as soon as viewing internet websites in addition to the installation of apps with your cellular phone making sure that online hackers will not gain access to your cryptograph.  

[Ayush Singh 1175]

Yes it is very much easy for any hackers to hack and to do any scam activities by any users account who use it from their Android phones because the security of Android phone is not so much protected which could help us to avoid and to restrict hackers it can be easily hacked with highi Technology.

[tienda 8776]

I think the hackers are enemies of many peoples, so anything created by people also they have thing created by them to hack people, so the unique thing we need to do is to be very attentive and protecting our self.

[Captain Karim 0]

Well, I do not trust this news and if it is true, Google, the owner of Android, will close this security vulnerability.

[magd 5231]

I recently read about the new security measures for wallets It is good but always the best way to keep your currencies safe is to use cold wallets so they are not penetrated and stolen online

[SuperCrypto 7193]

To avoid security vulnerabilities that threaten Android phones, do not trust anything on the Internet, especially applications, and the powers of each application must be read before downloading to the phone.

[Whited35 15285]

I do not think like it is easier for hackers to hack the android OS now. Google announced the update notice for the so many devices to make the upgrade to the latest corresponding OS versions with the improved security layers to protect users from hackers. 
 

[Saj555 2250]

Maybe that is right. But most of the users are android users. And the main awareness about that can be the surety of secure transaction and securely stored keywords. If you check up the domain name before logging in any websites and also check the email logs carefully then there is a chance not to be scammed so easily. A user shouldalways be aware about everything related to crypto world. 

[pablomarwan 3082]

Any system that now connects to the Internet contains a vulnerability and we cannot say that you are 100% protected because the hackers have now developed their experiences. I think that the older generation devices are the safest and diaper compared to these developed and porous devices.

[Shaza Ahmad 1682]

Is this story true ? I suspect that Google is working hard to close any possible vulnerabilities, and the Android system is an open source system so any party can modify it or fix it.

[Raven 7817]

You can really tell if you are getting hacked or not. Just always be careful when doing crypto currency because there are so many hackers here, they could hack you even in the non android devices so always be careful.

I'll try, but, for this you need to first purchase a new phone. So far, I don’t need to install the application on the phone, cryptocurrency wallet. Thank you my friend.

Android phones have a vulnerability in the case of hacking. So we must alert and know the fundamentals of secured website we visit. Also make sure that application you download is safe and come from the trusted source.

Yes, I think that Android devices are highly vulnerable and easy to hack and get all your phone data, so you should stay away from installing apps randomly.

I don't particularly delve into these warnings because I don't think it's right or practical to use smartphones for trading and storing coins . It's very risky. I conduct all financial transactions from a PC.

[BrolySSJ 7899]

Since android users use the internet and make use of a lot of third party apps without paying attention to the permissions that are required by each app, it is not uncommon for the apps to contain malware that can collect your information. This   makes it much easier for the hackers to access your accounts with crypto and get access to your passwords and private keys of your wallets.

Why you will need a new phone for this? I think if you have a mobile phone, you can used it and you can install some cryptocurrency wallets there. I hope it may help you.

A new phone is needed in order not to lose access to the cryptocurrency wallet application that is installed on the phone. It’s very dangerous to install the application on an old phone.

Google made android open source so they had it coming to them, because anyone can study the source code.
