Recently, there has been a surge in hacker activities, and some crypto users have suffered serious asset losses. It has been observed that a main address transferred over 100 million in assets from multiple small wallets within just three months. This is only part of the addresses that have been tracked; there may be more victims yet to be discovered.



From the hackers' methods, this attack involved purely manual asset transfers, indicating a high level of professionalism. More notably, the hackers exploited targeted system-level vulnerabilities—using Windows system history data to steal user wallet information and private key-related data. This means that simply safeguarding your seed phrase is not enough; the computer system itself can become a breach point.

In response, users need to take immediate action: prioritize switching to a more secure operating system environment, regularly clear browser and system cache data, enable hardware wallet cold storage, and avoid storing private key information on connected computers. Additionally, be cautious of seemingly ordinary wallet access requests, as hackers often combine social engineering with system vulnerabilities for multi-dimensional attacks.

Damn, these hackers are really ruthless, directly attacking the system layer. Keeping the seed phrase safe is useless. Damn, 100 million in assets just gone like that. How many people have fallen into the trap? Windows really needs to be replaced; it's too dangerous. As expected, cold wallets are the way to go. Online wallets are all just paper tigers. This system vulnerability is truly incredible. No wonder they are so professional.

Damn, here we go again? This time directly extracting private keys from the system layer, even memorized the seed phrase by heart—this is truly the ultimate!

Damn, 100 million just gone like that? This guy must be really careless. Putting private keys on a Windows system is definitely asking for trouble.

Damn, Windows system history can be scraped? That's too intense, feels like no one is safe.

Damn, Windows system vulnerabilities can directly expose private keys? That's too ruthless, no wonder so many people got caught. This wave of hackers is really professional to an absurd degree, just thinking about it gives me chills... I need to change my system quickly. Losing a billion in assets, just hearing about it makes me suffocate, we need to be more cautious. Hardware wallets are not a luxury, they are now a necessity. System-level vulnerabilities are hard to defend against, storing seed phrases properly is useless, I’ve learned my lesson this time. Oh my god, only discovered this after a month? If it weren’t for careful tracking, I guess more people wouldn’t know. These hackers combine social engineering with system vulnerabilities, incredible... multi-dimensional sanctions, who can withstand them? Windows really needs to be cautious, clear cache immediately. Damn, it turns out wallet security also depends on the computer system, I didn’t expect this connection. Don’t wait until something happens to regret it, start using a hardware wallet now.

Damn, 100 million in assets just gone like that? This guy must be heartbroken... The system-level vulnerability is indeed absolute, it's not just a private key issue, the entire computer has been compromised. I need to quickly change the system; continuing to use Windows will eventually lead to social death. Hardware wallets are still a must; being cautious is never too much.
