I just saw this and I can't believe it... South Korea's tax agency literally disclosed the mnemonic phrase of a Ledger wallet in a public press release. A non-pixelated photo showing the handwritten recovery phrase. Unbelievable.



The worst part is that it happened in February, and someone already stole $4.8 million from that wallet. On February 27, they transferred 4 million PRTG tokens to an anonymous address. In other words, the security vulnerability was direct: someone saw the mnemonic in the announcement and boom, full access to the funds.

Experts say that the tax department has no idea about basic cybersecurity. A government agency exposing private keys like this... it's straight out of a movie. A loss of national assets due to pure negligence.
