I have become increasingly concerned with security considering all of the attempted hacks, scams etc..
Knowing this I have moved much of my funds out of exchanges, but now if I hold these funds in MetaMask, can someone initiate a payment without my consent?

Keen to hear your thoughts
metamask is very safe and easy to use. just don't fall for the phishing attack and just secure your private key and you are all good. also consider using mew wallet, the UI is very good and easy to use.
