RE: Security problem of Jaxx Wallet - Anyone can Extract your Seed!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Interesting find. I would like to point out that this doesn't really apply to the Android version of the Jaxx wallet since apps are sandboxed from eachother and it would take a lot more to extract the key. I'll also point out that after reading the original article, it seems the attacker would need actual access to your PC to read from your disk. In this case the attacker already owns you anyway.

Thanks. Yes, i mention in the article that only in the desktop version and in the chrome extension. Sure in that case you'd already be fucked but with a good encryption would be almost impossible or, at worst would take more time, extract your seed and at least your wallet would be safe
