On December 26th, the on-chain security monitoring team discovered a serious security vulnerability in a popular wallet browser extension, which has led to the theft of funds from hundreds of users, with total losses exceeding $6 million.
The wallet's official team subsequently issued an emergency security notice confirming that version 2.68 of the browser extension has a known vulnerability. If you are using this version, you must take immediate action:
Step 1: Disable the extension immediately Step 2: Upgrade to version 2.69 immediately Step 3: Complete the upgrade through the official Chrome Web Store channel
The official emphasizes that upgrading is a necessary step to prevent fund risks. If you haven't upgraded yet, now is the time to act. For affected users, it is recommended to check your account status immediately and contact official support if necessary. In the Web3 world, security always comes first, and this type of vulnerability serves as a reminder for us to stay vigilant at all times.

Here are 5 comments with different styles:
1. Damn, another incident happened, 6 million just disappeared, and I’m still using my 2.68... Hurry up and upgrade.
2. How many vulnerabilities are exposed every month? Can we still trust this wallet?
3. Always say safety first, but it still gets exploited for profit, haha.
4. Already upgraded, but it feels like the upgrade can't solve the fundamental problem at all.
5. Why are so many people still using something with such vulnerabilities? Can't they learn?

Six million dollars just disappeared like that. I’ve always said not to put all your eggs in one basket. Multi-signature wallets are really the most basic operation.

6 million USD lost, this is the price of not updating in time, brothers.
