Since the beginning of this year, the security situation in the crypto market has been concerning. Data shows that hacker attacks have caused a direct loss of $3.4 billion, and the issues behind this figure deserve more attention. Industry security experts unanimously point out a phenomenon: most successful attacks are not actually due to technical code flaws, but rather exploit human weaknesses.

Whether it is phishing scams, social engineering, or internal risks, human behavior often becomes the most vulnerable link. This means that even the strongest encryption defenses can be broken through careless operations. For users holding mainstream assets like BTC, ETH, and others, raising security awareness and standardizing operational procedures may be more critical than any firewall.

BTC-2.01%

ETH-1.23%

Really? It's still the same old story; in the end, you still have to rely on yourself and not shoot yourself in the foot.

Honestly, 3.4 billion just disappeared like that, it's exhausting. As I always say, no matter how advanced the technology is, it can't withstand a brain fart. --- I just want to know, how many more times do we have to be phished before we learn our lesson? --- Firewall? Ha, better to guard against your own reckless fingers. --- It's always a human problem. It feels like the technical side is too innocent, but honestly, you just can't prevent some people from clicking links. --- Operational standards sound simple, but actually implementing them is really difficult... I haven't even fully achieved it myself. --- One careless move and you could lose everything; the pressure is really high. How can no one get into trouble under such high risk? --- Social engineering is so insidious that sometimes you get tricked before you even realize what's happening. --- So now I just keep my funds in a cold wallet and don't bother messing around. --- It seems talent is the biggest vulnerability. Can training courses really be effective? --- Another phishing attack, another insider threat. It's really hard to defend against everything. This industry is just ridiculous.

Basically, it's still that people are too easily fooled. $3.4 billion, all because those phishing links look so convincing.

$3.4 billion, sounds terrifying, but ultimately it's just a bug in the worst code of all— the human brain. It's just another useless innovation.

Basically, it's because inexperienced people get taken advantage of; if you don't think for yourself, who can you blame? --- 34 billion? That's just the exposed amount; how much is lost secretly? --- So those phishing links really shouldn't be clicked; once you do, it's gone. --- No matter how strong the firewall is, it's useless; the key is to prevent yourself from slipping up. --- After seeing so many hacking cases, I feel that being a person is much harder than being a tech expert. --- No wonder there are so many exchanges running away; the problem lies with the users. --- That's why I never connect my private keys online; I’m too lazy to bother, but my funds are safe. --- Phishing links, fake websites, false projects—there are so many now, it's impossible to guard against all of them. --- People are the real vulnerability; this has been a well-known issue for a long time.
