Support crackdown, but also worry about harming normal addresses by mistake; risk control standards need to be more transparent.

Seeing messages like this is quite uplifting; Web3 is not completely lawless.

30,766 ETH is quite a lot; if all of it were washed out, the impact would be too significant.

This is considered L2 also beginning to take on security governance responsibilities, which is quite crucial.

I want to ask whether the freezing is done through the sequencer/contract permissions or front-end blocking? The mechanisms are quite different in their significance.

Freezing is just the first step; the real benchmark is whether victims can be recovered and reimbursed.

Hopefully it's not a "showy freeze" that only lasts for a short time; it needs to be sustainable in the long term, or else they'll just switch aliases and come back.

Arbitrum this round is a big win, but other chains need to keep up with the collaboration, or funds will still move cross-chain.

There is a consensus to crack down on North Korean hackers; it is recommended to open-source the related addresses and evidence, so the community can monitor together.

Don't just freeze; it's best to also disclose the fund flow publicly so everyone can learn to prevent risks.
