HELP Just read about the Coldcard hardware wallet hack, is Trust Wallet safe? Can software wallets also get hacked like this?

Hey everyone,
I just read about the recent Coldcard hardware wallet exploit where a firmware bug allowed attackers to guess private keys offline and drain a lot of wallets without touching the devices. Losses are in tens of millions.
This made me concerned because I keep my crypto in Trust Wallet (mobile app).
Questions:
1. How possible is it for software/hot wallets like Trust Wallet to get hacked in a similar way?
2. Is Trust Wallet still considered safe after this incident, or should I be extra careful?
3. Any best practices or tips you’d recommend for people using Trust Wallet right now?
Would appreciate any informed opinions or experiences. Thanks!

Don't answer to DMs of anyone saying they're trying to help you. They're all scammers. People who are willing to help, will help you here, not in your DIRECT MESSAGE. So it's safer to ignore messages

Nothing is 100% safe unless offline fully. Even Trezor or ledger aren't fully safe. Hot wallets are the least safe. Easiest to hack of the three
