50 million gone, just because he bought a "cold wallet" on Douyin...
Last night, an investor's cold wallet was emptied overnight, losing over 50 million RMB worth of cryptocurrency assets! The cause of the incident is both ridiculous and tragic:
This friend saw a "brand new, unopened" cold wallet on Douyin with a "limited time special price," and impulsively placed an order, only to find that the cold wallet "looked like a newborn, but was actually previously handled by an old hand."
According to Slow Mist CISO @23pds's revelation, from the moment the device generated the private key, the attacker had already been quietly waiting for him to "recharge" remotely. In just a few hours, the assets were emptied and cleaned through "Huiwang," leaving not even a trace behind.
🔴 Key Warning:
99% of "channel goods" cold wallets are high-quality fakes, and some even have built-in Trojan backdoors. You think you're buying a wallet, but you're actually just giving away money!
Don't let your wallet become someone else's ATM; cold wallets must be purchased through official, legitimate channels. Otherwise, while you're "calmly storing," hackers are "enthusiastically celebrating" 💸
