Millions of U evaporated overnight: Don't treat your mnemonic phrase as a selfie prop! 🚀
At two in the morning, Xiao Chen sent me a voice message with a crying tone: “Bro, my wallet is at zero, over a million U, I just took it out to show off to my friends at the night club and they just clicked it.” My first question was: “Is the screenshot of the mnemonic phrase still in WeChat?” He was silent, and that silence was more piercing than the liquidation.
The situation is absurd but cruel: because he made some money, he went out drinking with his friends, and after drinking too much, he started to show off. He sent a screenshot of the 12-word mnemonic phrase to the group, and even recorded an operation video to show the accompanying hostess how to “paste → next step.” The hostess followed suit, and 30 seconds later, multiple lightning transactions went out on-chain, and the balance was zeroed. The police report was written very politely: “The individual operated voluntarily, unable to file a case.” It can't be recovered.
Don't rush to blame that hostess for her clumsiness; the real culprit is himself. The old Android phone hadn't been updated in three years, the Wi-Fi password was the same as the community name; the browser had a “0 grab candy” plugin; the original WeChat images were synced to iCloud. Hackers just needed to lie in wait, and in one go, the logs were cleared from the server in 72 hours, leaving no trace to catch.
I have distilled my blood and tears into three iron rules:
1. The mnemonic phrase is life. Handwritten and engraved on a metal plate, stored in multiple fireproof cabinets, never screenshot, never cloud backup.
2. The operating device is the key to the vault. A dedicated old phone, only install the official wallet app, no internet connection, no scanning, no updates. Disconnect from the internet before operating, clean the clipboard and history after operating.
3. Never operate alone in front of outsiders. If a transfer must be made, open video and verify the last four digits of the address word by word, wait three seconds before confirming to prevent evaporating millions of assets in a second.
Xiao Chen now polishes a titanium steel plate every night before bed, he says that is the white noise bought with over a million. Don’t wait until assets explode to think about defusing: the market can turn upside down, but on-chain transfers have no way back. Protecting the principal is a more important practice than just seeing a rise in value once. #巨鲸动向 #美联储重启降息步伐
