So apparently there is a security exploit in the wallet which could expose your private keys:

Hey! This is Michalis from Exodus support. Thanks for bringing this up!
We are aware of this issue and this video and we have published an article addressing it. I encourage you to read it, as it also offers advice on how to better protect your funds. You can find it here:
https://medium.com/exodus-movement/addressing-vulnerabilities-with-software-based-wallets-1cc9ff77bf44The thing is that all software wallets are only as secure as the computer they are installed on. This means that if your computer is secure and malware free, then your funds are safe as well. This vulnerability can be exploited only if you have a malware installed on your computer designed to dump and read your memory.
We know that no computer can be 100% secure, that's why we advise our customers to not store large amounts in Exodus but rather use a hardware wallet:

Thanks again for bringing this up. We want our customers to be informed of these limitations, because in that way they can protect their assets better. Once again, though, this issue can be exploited only if there's malware on your computer, so please take all necessary measures to keep your computer clean.
