"Brother Xiao, I lost 3 million U, it was just a second." The voice on the other end was hoarse and strained. "Just watched it happen right in front of my eyes, not a penny left in my wallet... I didn't do anything wrong." This guy wasn't wiped out by leverage, and the exchange didn't run away. What he experienced was the cruelest thing in the crypto world—his account assets were wiped out by someone else, no different from a home invasion. He reported to the police, and when the police arrived, they said casually: "Maybe your family members accidentally operated it."#数字资产市场动态 $BTC


Only after reviewing the incident did he realize what happened. The flaws were all in his daily habits: his phone system hadn't been updated in three years, his WiFi password hadn't been changed in seven years, he had tons of apps and installed all kinds of messy software, and most critically—the seed phrase screenshot was stored in his phone's notes.

To be honest, you might think that the blockchain security system is unbreakable, but the real key is hanging openly on the door. Over the years, I've been paying close attention to how hackers attack, and the most I tell people around me is:
BTC-1,09%
ETH-2,14%

I can't believe you store your mnemonic phrase in a memo? Dude, isn't that asking for it... You make your security like a sieve and then blame blockchain for not being good?

This guy is the living example of a bad lesson. Storing the seed phrase in a memo? Oh my god, isn't he just sticking his house key on the door?

3 million gone directly, the mnemonic phrase stored in a memo, this guy is really incredible, no matter how secure the blockchain is, it can't save you from self-destructive behavior.

No matter how secure the system is, the real ROI guarantee is the defense line of the cold wallet.

Screenshot of the mnemonic phrase saved to the phone memo, this guy is really opening the door for hackers himself.

3 million U in one second? Oh my, that's more desperate than a liquidation. I told you, no matter how strong the risk control levels are, it's all pointless. Storing your seed phrase screenshot in your notes is like leaving the key in the lock and going to sleep.
