Maryland Man Drugs Father to Access His $400,000 in Bitcoin

Probably this situation will not become a sensation, but I never understood people who store their bitcoins so that they can be stolen using a mobile phone.By installing any wallet program on your mobile phone, you tell many spyware about your cryptocurrency.
I am somehow guilty with this post as this hit me. Unfortunately, I store my BTCs in two (2) exchanges (one in my local exchange; other in bitpay since it accepts bech32 address). The problem associated with this is that the information is stored within my phone. In the event that it gets stolen, the thief "may" be able to access my funds and send it to another wallet.
Fortunately, those said exchanges have 2FA enabled where it requires my password before sending my BTCs. Though this may be the case, I do also think that it is a bad practice to keep my BTCs inside exchanges as they are prone to hacking, like what happened to several big exchanges in the past.
