5 million USDT was "pointed away" by my wife, and the police were of no use?
At three in the morning, Amin's crying voice woke me up: "Lawyer Yan, 5 million U is gone! My wife just clicked it as I taught!"
As a partner in a law firm that has seen many disputes in the crypto world, my first response was not to comfort him, but to ask directly: "Did you send a screenshot of the mnemonic phrase on WeChat?"
The silence on the other end was more piercing than a liquidation.
【An absurd yet real tragedy】🏠
Before going on a business trip for convenience, he took a screenshot of the 12 mnemonic phrases and sent it to the family group; he even recorded a tutorial on "paste → next step." Just after his wife completed the operation, the assets were emptied within 30 seconds, and the balance went straight to 0!
Reporting to the police was even more heartbreaking: "No way to file a case"—these four words mean that the money cannot be recovered.
【The real culprit is not the wife, but your loopholes】🕵️
Don't blame your family! The real problem is this:
- The old phone hasn't been updated in three years, and the Wi-Fi password is as simple as the name of the community
- The browser has a bunch of plugins for "free airdrops," all backdoors
- WeChat screenshots automatically sync to the cloud, meaning the mnemonic phrase is like giving away money
Hackers have long been eyeing these loopholes and will strike as soon as they get the chance!
【Three life-saving rules bought with 5 million U】⚔️
1. Mnemonic phrase = lifeline!🚫 Absolutely do not screenshot or cloud sync
2. Use a dedicated phone for trading!📱 Only install the official wallet, disconnect from the internet before operation, and clear the clipboard after use
3. It's best not to have family members operate on your behalf!
The crypto market has its ups and downs, but stolen assets are all due to human loopholes! Protecting your principal is more important than guessing a bull market—don't wait until you've lost money to remember to patch the loopholes! $BTC
