Another major case. A hacker transferred over 10 million in one night, the method is really aggressive. Over the years, security incidents at exchanges and wallets have been happening one after another. How are they still able to get away with it? Some say that now it's still possible to learn this from scratch, which is a bit frightening. To be honest, the repeated occurrence of such incidents indicates either there are still vulnerabilities in security defenses or participants lack risk awareness. Anyway, when it comes to personal asset security, mastering basics like self-custody keys, cold wallets, and multi-signature verification is essential. Seeing news like this should serve as a wake-up call.

Over 10 million gone in just one night, how ruthless is that, my goodness. Cold wallets are really not an option anymore; they are a must-have. Otherwise, you're asking for it. No matter how secure an exchange is, it's still someone else's account. Emphasizing self-custody of keys is never too much. If you don't learn to self-custody your keys now, you'll pay the price sooner or later. Whenever these kinds of incidents happen, a new batch of rookies will realize the importance of awareness. Multi-signature verification, cold wallets, self-custody keys—these three essentials are indispensable, truly. To put it simply, if it's not your private key, then it's not your coins. Why are some people still putting large amounts on exchanges? I really can't understand. Losing 10 million in one night, that hacker must be highly professional. What are our small amounts compared to that? Safeguarding your keys is the real way to go; don't rely on the platform. The frequency of these news reports shows that our circle is still too inexperienced.

Over 10 million lost in one night? How incompetent is this guy, not even setting up basic defenses? Cold wallets are really not an option, they are a must. And some people keep large amounts in hot wallets—no wonder they get exploited. Regarding exchanges, it's time to wake up; managing your own keys is the way to go. It's the same story again—zero security awareness and still daring to touch the crypto world. What are they thinking? Multi-signature verification—if you don't use it, don't blame hackers for being clever; blame yourself for being reckless. Every month, this kind of news comes out. When will people finally learn? Over 10 million in one night... and it’s gone in a flash. This is a textbook example of failure. If wallet security isn't taken seriously soon, it will only be a matter of time before everything is wiped out.

Over 10 million disappeared in one night. Is it that fierce... It seems that not managing your own keys is really not feasible. --- Here we go again? Why are exchanges still being hacked? When will this industry finally settle down? --- Cold wallets are truly a necessity. To avoid being targeted by hackers, you must safeguard your private keys. --- Feeling a bit scared is normal, but the key question is whether you'll actually learn to secure your assets or just keep leaving them on exchanges. --- Over 10 million can be transferred just like that. I need to check my wallet security settings. --- The adoption of multi-signature verification and similar technologies is so low. No wonder vulnerabilities keep appearing; everyone needs to catch up. --- Hackers are getting more ruthless. We must pay more attention to basic security measures.

Over 10 million disappeared in one night. This technique is indeed brilliant, but honestly, the security threshold of exchanges should have been strengthened long ago. Never be lazy with self-managed keys. Isn't cold storage more secure? If you just seek convenience, this is the result. Another bloody lesson. How are there still people who haven't learned? The hacker was so aggressive that the exchange should have gone bankrupt, truly speechless. In terms of security awareness, most people are indeed inexperienced, treating hot wallets like safes. Transferring over 10 million in one night... I even tightened my underwear. Security defenses are being broken one after another. It feels like this industry is just a sieve. Multi-signature not enabled? Then just wait to be harvested. Can't blame anyone.
