🚨 $1.5 Million Gone In Seconds — And It Wasn’t the Market’s Fault 🚨
Not my story — just one I came across recently. But it shook me enough to share it here.
Imagine being a seasoned crypto investor…
No leverage, no wild trades. Just another day in DeFi.
You connect your wallet to a seemingly legit dApp — and boom.
💸 $1.5 million… gone. Instantly.
This wasn’t a market crash.
It wasn’t volatility.
It wasn’t even bad luck.
It was a phishing scam — so smooth, so professional — that the investor didn’t even realize they had handed over control.
He didn’t get hacked.
He unknowingly gave access to a smart contract designed to drain his wallet.
> The real damage? Not just the money…
But the loss of trust in what should’ve been secure.
🛡️ How You Can Protect Yourself:
✅ Always triple-check URLs — look for fake characters or slight typos.
✅ Never approve access on dApps you're unsure of — DYOR.
✅ Use a hardware wallet for large holdings.
✅ Revoke old or unused token approvals regularly (via Etherscan or tools like Revoke.cash).
