Secondly, be careful with all crypto apps, some of them could require be turned on on the background and they can wqtch what you do - be careful, there are cases that private key were stolen by this malicious apps.

New application now you are very cautious because it will have a negative impact on what you have saved now. But not all apps will have that function.

Yeah, I remember those funny times far in 2017 when this kind of phishing became very popular. MyEtherWallet, most popular exchanges and crypto applications... Hundreds of people got scammed by the hackers...

I'm sure that those who are into crypto since last year knew that downloading new mobile wallet from play store can be dangerous, well this is for newbies who just entered crypto space this year, most top popular mobile wallets have fakes built by scammers too, before you download any wallet find its website and download through the link instead

You're very right buddy, not just wallet app, but every cryptocurrency app out there, you have to be extra careful because apps get easily pirated. Around last a year, there was a similar case of Atomic Wallet being pirated on playstore.... The devs had to write to google severally before the pirated wallet got dropped down. The best thing is to follow the download link from the official website of whatever app who wanna download

yes , that is true that downloading aplication through google play can be dangerous. It is recommended to download the wallet from the official website of their project. Or we can ask in their telegram channel about official wallet .

not all applications on Google Play are dangerous, we can see reviews from several users of the application and if it is dangerous just report it immediately to Google Play so that it can be followed up by them

It is curious that many users install such applications without even looking at the reviews.

In addition, sometimes the application is new and there are no reviews on it, however, this does not prevent people from installing this unfamiliar dangerous suspicious application on their working device.
Then they are surprised that they were hacked.

How possible is this with some app? This is quite dangerous if the case would be something like that. Can you name some apps that are posses this kind of stealing. I just want to study how an app can be used for this shameful deeds.

My advice is instead of storing your assets in your cellphone wallet, but on your PC. because in my opinion security and privacy protection on a PC that has antivirus, more secure than on the cell phone.

I agrees but PCs are more prone to viruses right? Especially if they are using microsoft windows. Phones are not secured but I'm thinking more users here are got scammed or hacked through PC cases situations.

Aside from that,

Avoiding suspiscious links and downloading unnecessary application can help to avoid scammers/hackers. Even if you have an anti virus, if you keep on clicking anything, they can still breach your security.

Open PlayProtect in your appstore settings.
Android phones though are not really affected with any virus. It is the memory card or an OTG flash drive which you will insert that will have viruses.
But again, never with androids.
I have been using it since the day it was created and even done a lot of customization and never have a problem once even connecting with an infected computer.

Android phones have in build memory space also known as RAM which basically makes the device perform various actions. This RAM can also be infected with any dangerous malware which would destroy some of the basic functions of the device which might even lead for a major cause ahead. Android phones have lowest security according to me as they do not even work well with antivirus or Internet protector and hence they might blindly store any data onto the device before checking for viruses.

A advanced virus can destroy everything which might be stored on the RAM of the device which would directly brick the device and also it is possible that the same virus might even search your internal memory and steal some of the most important files like private keys, .json files, etc.

In order not to get into such situations, beginners need to carefully study the information available on each of their questions. Fortunately, the forum even has a special section where you can start getting acquainted with cryptocurrencies.

This forum should have been made better for newbies who want to learn more about what crypto or other virtual currencies can generate a little profit for all of them.

of course, with this forum there are lots of tutorials and even information about the development of blockchain technology to good and right mining, from this forum all countries can gather and discuss so you don't have to go far to meet overseas events to learn more cryptocurrency because by asking here there will certainly be many who give good responses until everything is answered and solved.

But don't always believe what is in this forum and you should look more closely for the truth and keep looking for ways to produce some interesting prizes later.

You are right, but this applies not only to mobile wallets, but in general to any information that you receive via the Internet. Moreover, scammers can use Google forms, fake accounts, phishing sites. In general, it’s very difficult for beginners now, since everywhere you don’t go cheating everywhere. I have also been a victim of fraudsters several times and now I try to study and double-check everything.

it's true, downloading safer wallets through on official site but official site is also a lot of fake sites it will be easier to fool newbies so to get original site, newbies need to find original site through official account of official site like on twitter or facebook

I'm no newbie but this is an eye-opener for me. I recently engaged myself in crypto giveaways on Twitter, a friend had me joined because she's been winning some free crypto coins when she shares or retweets a post. She let me install a wallet from Google Play and of course I installed without hesitation since she's been using it for a while now. Anyway, there are two crypto wallets on my phone, Coinomi and Wallet of Satoshi. For now I'll depend on my friend's recommendation about using it, I think reviews from other users helps too.

I think its not for newbie who just enter crypto space this year i think its for everyone in here. We should be aware about downloading apps to our mobile phone. Its more safe if download through official webpage or official telegram.

Actually there is no problem using a mobile wallet, as long as you download it from the official link. That is why we must be selective. I use a Magnum wallet, and it's safe, I like it because it's not connected to emails that have the risk of being hacked.

Newbie is indeed an easy target for scammers, so don't be easy to trust suspicious links, always double-check before you join or use any application.

Very easy to find scam app of top mobile wallet. Top mobile wallet already downloaded so many times, you can easily understand it. I can't see any problem in top mobile instead new wallet. Be alert before download any new wallet from playstore, for App store this is very rare case.
