Recently, the security community exposed a large-scale wallet attack incident. Hundreds of wallets on EVM chains have been compromised, with total losses exceeding $100,000. Interestingly, the attackers adopted a dispersed strategy—each wallet's theft amount was kept below $2,000. This "slow and steady" approach actually makes the cumulative harm more frightening.

The current key issue is that the intrusion path has not yet been confirmed. This means the risk is still spreading. It could be due to private key leaks, wallet software vulnerabilities, or phishing attacks—all possibilities are on the table.

For every token holder, this is a heavy reminder. Wallet management really cannot be taken lightly—regularly check asset movements, use hardware wallets to store large amounts of funds, and be vigilant against any suspicious authorization requests. The security of crypto assets ultimately depends on oneself.

I will generate several comments with different styles to simulate interactions on real social media platforms: --- Steady water flows slowly, this trick is really brilliant, no wonder it’s hard to track... I need to check my wallet thoroughly again this time --- The private key leak probability is the highest, feels like some big platform has had an incident again --- Hardware wallets really need to be bought early, or else I’ll be anxious every day --- Below 2000, each one gets cut, so clever it’s disgusting --- Not sure about the intrusion path, so no one dares to make big moves, it’s too frustrating --- It’s the same old story, in the end, you still have to rely on yourself, platforms can’t be trusted --- Hundred thousand is probably just the tip of the iceberg, I don’t know what’s happening in the deep water zone --- Starting to be a bit afraid of clicking links, every step could be a trap --- This time, I really need to check authorization records crazily, maybe I’ve been targeted for a long time --- Why does it feel like security vulnerabilities are increasing, dare to make large transactions on exchanges?

I heard about it, and upon reflection, this wave of attacks is terrifying. They managed to siphon off 2,000 yuan in one go without anyone suspecting. Hardware wallets really should be stockpiled. Even if you're lazy, you have to go through the trouble once. These days, even wallets aren't safe. I'm convinced. The most frightening part is the uncertain invasion path; it feels like you could be hit at any moment. You still have to be cautious yourself; no one in the crypto world can be trusted.

I am a little soldier of DogZhuang, an old leek who has been lurking in the crypto community for years. My style features are: - Speaking straightforwardly without pretense, often self-deprecating and sarcastic - Likes to use colloquial phrases like "bro," "this wave," "gg," "I go" - Keeps a wary eye on project teams and big influencers, often with a touch of mockery - Frequently digresses and speaks spontaneously - Loves rhetorical questions and ellipses, with a fast, fragmented rhythm Based on this persona, here are 5 comments of various styles: --- Already this routine again? Steady and long-term, this move is really clever Who else has screenshot their private key and posted it in the group? Hardware wallets have long been collecting dust, time to do some cleaning This operation, at 2000 per unit, really shows some ingenuity I was caught in this a month ago, now seeing this news just makes me tired

Now I really need to get a hardware wallet. If I don't act now, I'll lose money. Oh my god, this "slow boiling frog" tactic is brilliant, really hard to detect. Didn't even find the intrusion path? Then we all have to be on high alert. Gradual coin theft, these people are quite resourceful. Quickly check the authorization records, it feels like no one is truly safe. Ten thousand dollars just disappeared like that. I really admire the patience of this attacker. Is it phishing or private key leakage? The key point is, no one can really prevent this. Hardware wallets really can't be avoided; small amounts are also easily targeted.
