Though this is old but thanks for sharing. I know some people who lost their fund already! I told them not to trust any third party website or app, but they said it is safe and million people use it! It doesn't face how many people using it, the fact is anytime it can breach and you can lot every fund from there! Only a hardware wallet is a solution now and forever, Ledger X has smartphone facility too! Everyone should avoid walletgenerator now and forever!
