A crypto investor used a cold wallet purchased on Douyin, and assets worth 50 million yuan were stolen overnight
On June 14, according to SlowMist CISO 23pds, SlowMist received an urgent request for help last night, and the cryptocurrency worth 50 million yuan in a certain investor's cold wallet was looted. It is reported that the investor's "cold wallet" was purchased through the Douyin channel, and the private key was stolen at the moment of generation, and the huge assets were washed away through Huiwang within a few hours.
23pds warned that investors must purchase cold wallets through official and formal channels. 99% of the so-called "new and unopened" and "special price flash sale" cold wallets on the Internet are fake and may have been tampered with.
