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:

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.

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.
