I lost my phone days ago and now I got a used phone, the problem is this phone is rooted, I hope this doesn't carry any danger to crypto related security? Either wallets or stuff? I am careful not to import my recovery seed on the phone first, not before having a answer, I've also reformatted the phone through recovery mode but root is still present. Any Danger?.
Your privacy is crucial in every situation, but it's especially crucial when using crypto applications because you need to import your private keys in order to access your wallet. It makes no sense to use a device whose security you are unsure of, and any rooted phone operating system has been compromised, making it insecure for using wallets and other crypto-related apps.
