The Korean National Tax Service released a press statement to promote their achievements in cracking down on high-tax arrears, accompanied by a photo of a现场搜查. The photo not only shows a hardware wallet but also a piece of paper with 24助记词 written on it, clearly visible and unblurred. Anyone familiar with blockchain knows— 助记词 = the highest control over assets. Shortly after the photo was made public, abnormal activity appeared on the chain: First, gas was充值, then the entire 4 million PRTG tokens in the wallet were transferred in batches. Total value approximately 6.4 billion Korean won (about 4.8 million USD), evaporated within a few hours. This is no longer about “hacker skills,” but a fundamental lack of security awareness. In the decentralized world: There are no customer service, no freezing, no撤回. Whoever has the助记词 is the owner of the assets. This can be called “the most expensive news photo in history.” It also提醒 brothers of a few things: 1️⃣ Never take photos, screenshots, or upload助记词 to the cloud 2️⃣ Do not展示 wallet information in any public setting 3️⃣ For large assets,建议分仓+硬件钱包+离线保存 Market fluctuations can lead to losses, but安全不能输. The most common issue in a bear market isn’t price, but complacency. $BTC
