#币安CEO He Yi's WeChat was hacked and exploded! Is Web3 encrypted communication suddenly a necessity?
He Yi, the co-CEO of Binance, had his WeChat account hacked! When this incident came to light on December 10, it directly exposed the security vulnerabilities of centralized social media, making Web3 encrypted communication a 'necessity' in everyone's eyes.
The hackers executed a precise attack, exploiting the vulnerabilities of traditional platforms' centralized data storage. They recovered the account using the phone number and even used it to promote fraudulent cryptocurrency projects. Although He Yi quickly used BNB to compensate the victims, the problems of centralized platforms became evident: data is controlled by the platform, making it vulnerable to hacker attacks and platform abuse, completely contrary to the Web3 idea of 'data belongs to users.'
Interestingly, industry leaders have long been eyeing the field of encrypted communication. Vitalik Buterin just invested heavily in an encrypted communication project, and Elon Musk is also working on an encrypted chat software called XChat. Tools like Session and SimpleX have also secured funding, using blockchain for decentralization and end-to-end encryption to fundamentally eliminate data leakage.
He Yi's incident serves as a wake-up call for everyone: simple password protection is no longer sufficient; Web3 encrypted communication is the real security. With the current wave of enthusiasm, will encrypted communication tools completely replace traditional social media? Which Web3 encrypted tool do you think is the most reliable?
