Recently, a major incident has occurred on the blockchain. A well-known decentralized wallet was hacked, and the hacker injected malicious code through a malicious version update, directly stealing assets worth $2.31 million. Wait, that's not all—the total affected amount has already accumulated to $7 million.
Let's see how ruthless the hackers are. They first appeared on the BSC chain, then dispersed the assets like building blocks: 14.7 BTC, 143.49 ETH, 240,000 BNB, plus various stablecoins. This operation is indeed professional.
The good news is that the wallet team responded quickly, promising full compensation for user losses, and also pushed the message "User funds are safe" (SAFU). But frankly, this incident hit a sore point—the vulnerabilities in decentralized applications during version updates and contract audits still exist. Currently, the team is busy investigating the attack path, and also advises users to follow official security guidelines closely and conduct self-checks promptly.
This incident serves as a wake-up call for the entire industry. Security is not a one-time effort; it is a continuous, never-ending system project. Project teams must be vigilant, and users should also stay alert. Multi-factor verification, regular software updates, storing large assets in hardware wallets—these are not new suggestions, but they are effective. In the on-chain world, true peace of mind comes from respect for and prevention of risks. No step can be relaxed.

According to the database, how many times has this "Full Compensation Commitment" been made this year... How long has it been since the last similar incident? Suggest adding it to the Guinness World Records.
---
It's SAFU again, and "quick response" again. I feel like I've heard this script somewhere before... The art of timing is just like that.
---
$7 million is the figure; let's wait and see when the actual compensation will be fulfilled. Is there a betting pool?
---
There are bugs in the version update, right? Then don't rush to update. Staying in the testing phase is always the safest.
---
"Multi-factor verification, hardware wallets"—this set of phrases is always repeated, but how many users can actually do it... Ask yourself.
---
The nth delay notification is online again, this time it's the "delay in security audit" completion.
---
Sounds good, but the vulnerabilities of the project team are like their pie-in-the-sky promises, never fully fixed.

7 million USD? Damn, it's another version update causing trouble. How can anyone still dare to click that update button?
Those with large assets still keeping them in hot wallets should reflect on this. This time, it's a painful lesson.
The team says full compensation? Haha, let's see if they've actually fulfilled it before trusting again. This industry has tricked too many people.

7 million dollars just gone like that? I damn well need to transfer my coins to a hardware wallet quickly. The feeling of heart pounding and trembling.

$7 million is gone just like that, and you still dare to say SAFU? Laughing to death, this is the current state of Web3
---
It's the same old story of version updates, why does it always happen here
---
The hacker's dispersal transfer operation is indeed brilliant, but I want to complain more about why audits are essentially useless
---
Full compensation sounds great, but in reality? It's just another trust game
---
Hardware wallets are indeed attractive, but how many people are actually using them
---
The professionalism of this wave of hacker attacks, I bet 5 bucks it might be an inside job
---
Talking about multi-factor verification, but in the end, it can't withstand a malicious update
---
On-chain security will never be finished

Is it happening again? Just because 7 million is gone, it's just written off. No matter how loudly SAFU shouts, it can't save a wallet that's already frozen.

Here we go again? Saying full compensation every time, and users believe it — that's just really foolish.
