Are android hotwallets secure?

[Partap95]

I’ve been using breadwallet since the past 5 months, no issues so far..but all the stealing and hacking news so far has got me really worried. Should I install an antivirus in my phone for extra security?

An antivirus isn’t going to be of much help, if you’re “really worried” about security, you’ll be better off investing in a hardware Coldwallet. They’re the safest way to store your Crypto. NanoS and Trezer are the most popular ones in the market. FuzeW is another upcoming coldwallet that is on my watch list.

nothing is safe when it comes to crypto lol..i remember reading post about a 15 year old teenager who hacked the nanoS via a backdoor exploit

ColdWallets are very safe. What is the source of your news?
