#黑客攻击与安全风险 Seeing this case in Korea, I have to say a few heartfelt words. An employee of a trading platform was bribed with Bitcoin to turn an officer, and the amount involved was not large—$487,000 was enough to shake a person's bottom line. This incident seems distant from us, but it actually exposes a vulnerability that all crypto enthusiasts should be alert to.

On-chain assets themselves are neutral, but human nature is not. Hackers, manipulators, and scam groups have long understood this—they not only focus on technical skills but also exploit human desires. What does this case tell us? Holding large amounts of crypto assets itself is a risk source. You might think you're an investor, but in some people's eyes, you're just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered—whether through hacking, social engineering scams, or more direct threats.

After years of navigating this circle, my biggest takeaway is understanding a truth: security always comes before returns. No matter how high the APY or how strong the backing of a project is, it's not worth risking. Private key management, wallet separation, regular audits of your holdings, staying away from flashy yet opaque trading platforms—these seemingly old-fashioned practices are now life-saving guidelines.

To survive long on the chain, it's not about betting on the right direction, but about staying alive to see the next cycle.
