Someone just lost $27 million in a single night. The method? A malicious file that auto-downloaded and executed itself, silently harvesting every password stored on the device.
No warning signs. No second chances. Just gone.
This is the reality of crypto security—one wrong click, and years of accumulation disappear into the void. The attackers are evolving faster than most realize.

ngl this is exactly why i keep hammering the correlation between leverage ratio and security infrastructure... everyone's obsessed with yield optimization but sleep on the actual attack surface. that $27m? textbook systemic risk nobody wants to talk about.

Oh my god, 2.7 billion is gone? Just one file can bankrupt someone, that's way too scary... Now I'm even afraid to click on anything.

Damn, 27 million is just gone like that? I told you, you can't just open any random file...
Your fortune can vanish before dawn breaks.
