I think a cold wallet would be enough to increase the security. On one condition, to use an off-line dedicated computer for this reason. An old laptop would be perfect. Alternative you can use a Raspberry Pi as a cold wallet. It runs Linux you can run all kind of wallets you want and when you are finished, just remove the micro sd card and secure it in a safe place. It's cheaper than any hardware wallet.

Thanks for the share. Quite shocking how easy it is to pull off private keys. All the more reason to switch to a hardware wallet.

Well, the news is shocking.
I think I would consider buying a hardware wallet because it doesn't look very safe.

Is this true?

Because most of the wallets never hold our private keys,even if we lost our keys there is no way to recover our funds then how can they expose our private keys.

I agree, a hardware wallet is a good solution for now.

Someone needs to create an easy-to-use multi-crypto wallet that is truly secure...There are a lot of security-centered blockchain projects, somebody create a free, easy-to-use, SECURE wallet app/program for multiple coins/tokens, even if its just for ERC20 tokens
