Recently, on-chain security has been a bit tense. Hacker activities are frequent, and various wallets and DeFi applications have become major targets.

Yesterday, Trust Wallet reported a major security incident, with losses reaching up to $7 million, and stolen assets directly transferred to hacker addresses. Not long after, today there are reports that deobot experienced a suspected coin theft incident, with details still under verification.

The current market environment is already unstable, and with hackers continuing their attacks, users' wallet security issues need to be taken more seriously. Whether it is hot wallets or cold wallets, increased vigilance is required.

Here are some suggestions for everyone:
- Regularly check wallet authorization status and revoke unnecessary contract permissions
- Store important assets in hardware wallets whenever possible
- Do not click on unfamiliar links; phishing risks are everywhere
- Regularly pay attention to official security alerts and update application versions promptly

Protecting your assets is the most basic form of risk management.

7 million just gone like that, oh my god, that's my entire lifetime salary, I'm laughing to death. All the leek leaders, quickly check your wallet permissions, don't wait until you're wooled to regret it.

$7 million gone, this is truly terrifying... better check the authorizations quickly. I told you not to greedily go after those unknown project airdrops, now look. Hardware wallets are really a must; hot wallets are like leaving your money on the street. Here comes another one, is the hacker addiction getting worse this month? Forget it, better transfer everything to cold wallets; sleep quality might improve. Now even Trust is unsafe, who can we trust anymore? Luckily, I didn't authorize anything; my self-discipline saved me. It's always the same, only start to defend after the fact. Why didn't I do it earlier? Phishing links are really hard to defend against; we need to be more careful. The on-chain environment is becoming increasingly dangerous; how can beginners survive?

7 million just disappeared like that, so frustrating. Really need to check permissions immediately. --- Again with Trust Wallet, feels like these big companies can't be trusted... --- Hardware wallets seem to be the only way out, hot wallets are always nerve-wracking. --- Phishing links are countless, I now have to think twice before clicking any link. --- I’ve never heard of deobot before, now I have to verify? Where are the details? --- They keep saying there’s an upgrade, but after upgrading, it still gets hacked. Who can stand this? --- Many people overlook contract authorization revocation, it’s really necessary to clean up regularly. --- 7 million... The hacker must be laughing to death. Why do these wallets always get compromised? --- I just want to ask everyone, are there really brave souls still using hot wallets? --- On-chain security has been talked about so many times, yet some still fall for it. Can't you learn, everyone?

7 million USD lost? Damn, this time it's a huge loss. --- Trust Wallet had another issue, I even recommended it to friends before...awkward. --- Really need to switch to a hardware wallet; hot wallets are too risky now. --- Every time I see this kind of news, I think of my small holdings, my mood crashes. --- Authorization needs to be taken seriously; I’ve already suffered from contract authorization issues. --- Clearly told everyone not to click on unfamiliar links, yet some people still get phished, really helpless. --- The market is so chaotic, hackers are rampant, now holding coins requires constant vigilance. --- Did deobot also have a major issue? There are quite a few blockchain news this week. --- Fortunately, I moved my main assets to a cold wallet; otherwise, I’d also be at risk of being exploited. --- Looks like I need to develop the habit of regularly checking authorization.

7 million USD lost. As an experienced trader, I’ve also been through pitfalls before, but never with such a costly lesson. Honestly, now entering the crypto space, securing your wallet should be your top priority, or you might end up losing everything. Don’t skimp on a hardware wallet; it’s worth more than the theft risk. I now see it as an investment in safety. Suspicious links, unexplained authorizations... these are like traps on the road, easy for beginners to fall into. In this bear market, you also have to watch out for hackers. It’s really intense. Before going all-in, make sure you’re well-prepared.

7 million USD gone and no one cares? This circle is indeed getting more and more dangerous... Cold wallets are the way to go, hot wallets can explode at any time You really need to regularly clean up your authorization, I was lazy to revoke last year and almost suffered a loss Don't ask me how I know... You guys better remember this time, phishing links are everywhere

7 million is gone just like that, Trust Wallet really pulled it off Another big scoop, are hackers trying to boost their performance this week? A hardware wallet isn't better? Why use a hot wallet to play with fire? Authorization needs to be cleaned regularly; otherwise, you'll get exploited one day I just want to know how these vulnerabilities were discovered; even hindsight experts Phishing links are really everywhere, a careless click and it's gone Storing heavy assets in a cold wallet is truly safe, just a bit more trouble These days, being an on-chain user really requires caution; one misstep and you could lose everything
