Recently, Bybit experienced a $1.5 billion hacking attack, sparking widespread discussions about cryptocurrency security. However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reminded everyone that, in addition to theft prevention, the accidental loss of cryptocurrency is also worth attention.
In a post on X on February 28, Buterin listed several common ways cryptocurrency is lost: software errors, forgotten passwords, lost devices, accidental deletion, and failure to back up data when upgrading hardware. He pointed out that the victims of these issues often hesitate to speak out because there is no clear 'perpetrator' to hold accountable.
