Just saw someone lose $28 million. Wild, right?

The attack vector? Sneaky as hell. Malicious site triggers auto-download, file executes automatically. Boom. Wallet drained.

Here's what you need to do RIGHT NOW:

Chrome users - kill auto-downloads in your settings. Seriously, takes 30 seconds.

Telegram folks - turn off auto media download. Make it manual. Every single time.

This isn't paranoia. This is 2025 crypto reality. Your security settings matter more than your seed phrase sometimes.

28 million just disappeared like that. I’m thinking, how careless do you have to be? The main thing is, this method is just too insidious—there’s basically no way to guard against it. I’ve already changed all my settings, went through both Chrome and Telegram, and now I’m sleeping so much better, haha.

28 million just gone, unbelievable. I turned off auto-downloads a long time ago to avoid this hassle. --- Oh my god, this kind of attack method is insane, really impossible to guard against. --- In critical moments, it's all about the details. Can't afford to slack off on security settings. --- Speaking of which, how many people have actually never changed these settings... --- These days, wallets are more precious than life itself. Gotta pay attention. --- The idea of auto-executing files is just creepy. I'm going to check everything right now. --- 28 million, bro, my god, if it were me, I'd be shattered. --- I changed that Chrome setting, but honestly never thought about Telegram. --- Manually confirming every time is a hassle, but it's way better than getting wiped out. --- Security > convenience, that's really been hammered home this time.
