its so great, that people like me, put so much trust into smartphones, and wallets, the sad truth is, these days, hackers can get anything they want, if they just put the effort in.

Actually, not true --no rooting necessary. Thanks to Goog's "security" implementation, all you need to do to reassign the PIN by deleting the wallet app's data from android prefs, then access the wallet. This is provided your lockcreen smudge is crackable, of which most are, if they're even set.
