Jaxx wallet security flaw!

in jaxx •  7 years ago 

I just found out that the Jaxx wallet has a major security breach.

For those who just want the TL/DR:

  • your 12-word recovery phrase can be stolen!
  • The developers don't intend to fix any time soon!
  • Your should move your funds to another wallet or official coin wallet.

I learned this info through:

      I really don't see the point of keeping any amount in Jaxx if its extremely vulnerable.
