The BitBox02 hardware wallet makes it safe to use cryptocurrencies, even if you have a virus on your computer. As a general rule: always trust the screen of the BitBox02 over anything else.

This is the reason why it's risky to generate a receive address in the BitBoxApp only. It's very easy for a virus on your computer to change the address shown to an address that does not belong to you. All receiving addresses need to be verified on the BitBox02 to make sure that they really belong to you.
