Hi all . re: m.mask security ...... if you have very small/low risk funds in m.mask wallet , as recommended , but from a phishing/hacking perspective , you have : connected sites : to wallet , does this mean if wallet is accessed by hacker that they can then access connected sites ?
No. Even though Metamask is linked to a certain site, the site owner cannot transfer money from Metamask to another account, because every transfer of funds requires confirmation. This is the same as the process when you do a swap, namely by confirming by an active wallet. If the wallet is not active of course they can't do anything with our metamask even though it's connected to their site. So you don't have to worry about the metamask security system. Unlike a site that asks to import a private key, there is a possibility that the site backs up the private key that we import.
