2025 has seen a surge in data breaches affecting the crypto space. From exchange hacks to wallet thefts and network disruptions, the industry faces mounting security challenges. These incidents underscore why robust cybersecurity measures matter—whether you're managing assets on-chain or storing sensitive information. Security breaches aren't just headlines; they impact real users and their digital assets. Staying informed about vulnerabilities and best practices remains essential for anyone navigating Web3.

Damn, another year of frequent security incidents, I'm really numb to it, brothers need to pay attention --- Exchanges are falling one after another, who can stand this... self-custody is the way to go --- How many times have I said "not your keys not your coins", yet some people still jump into the fire pit, speechless --- Living in web3 means you have to be on high alert all the time, one misstep and you get wiped out, terrifying --- In this day and age, even being an ordinary user requires caution like a hacker, exhausting --- Vulnerabilities are hard to defend against, I can only pray I’m not the next unlucky one --- Cold Wallets are really a must, I’m losing trust in Hot Wallets more and more --- Another leak incident, it feels like the industry is like a sieve, leaking everywhere --- Best practices sound good, but how many actually get executed... just like fitness plans --- Security is always in style, but is always overlooked, truly ironic

How many exchanges have been hacked this month again? I’m laying it all out; I’m now self-custodying and don’t trust any centralized stuff.

Really, I've been hacked again and again. Has this industry ever been truly secure? If it stays like this in 2025, who would dare to put their coins on an exchange? Cold wallets are the way to go; everything else is just a big mistake. No, how come these exchanges are still operating? I really don't understand. I've been saying it for a long time: self-custody or get out, there are no other options. Every time I see this kind of news, I want to laugh. Why did I transfer to a cold wallet so early? That's why I never keep coins on centralized exchanges for more than two days. In Web3 security, it really all depends on self-awareness; platforms can't be trusted. It's either leaks or hackers—when will this day end? Honestly, self-protection awareness is the biggest firewall.

Here we go again with the same old story. Surge in data leaks? It should have been anticipated. When the collateralization rate collapses, liquidation risks skyrocket—these are all chain reactions. --- Exchanges get hacked, wallets are stolen... Basically, risk control mechanisms are just for show. I’ve always said that high leverage lending positions are a ticking time bomb. --- It’s 2025 and people are still talking about "best practices"? Those who use cold wallets have long since survived; others... well. --- When the liquidation threshold is triggered, no one cares about cybersecurity measures; everyone is fleeing. --- Data leaks surge ≈ risk events cluster ≈ market volatility intensifies ≈ my liquidation team is about to get busy again. The logic is very smooth. --- I’m not just raising alarms without cause. Once vulnerabilities in on-chain smart contracts are exposed, fund flows become meaningless. To survive, proactive defense is necessary. --- Another year, another group of people being eliminated due to poor risk control. I’m all too familiar with this script.

Buddy, if you don't manage your wallet yourself these days, you really deserve to get hacked. --- Another exchange got hacked... I’ve been saying for a long time that centralized exchanges are just ticking time bombs. --- Tinkering on the chain every day, and one phishing link can ruin everything—that’s the real pain. --- Not gonna lie, people who can’t keep up with security awareness should read more articles like this. Don’t wait until your assets are stolen to regret it. --- Even in 2025, and there are still people leaving their coins on CEXs—that’s really... --- Every time I see someone’s assets stolen, I want to ask: why aren’t you using a hardware wallet? --- Security vulnerabilities are no longer news; key management is the real lesson. --- The industry screams "security first" every year, but users still get hacked time and time again—nothing can be done about it. --- When your wallet gets hacked, you’ll probably regret it so much your intestines turn green. Can’t seem to learn, guys. --- Feels like there are more vulnerabilities than coins. Can we still play in this ecosystem?

It's the same old story... The real problem is that unconfirmed transactions in the mempool can't be prevented at all. No matter how secure your private keys are, it's useless. Exchange got hacked? It should have been decentralized long ago. Storing funds there is just asking for trouble. The most important thing is to optimize the gas path, everyone. Stop wasting time on cybersecurity research; on-chain data speaks for itself.

Year after year, it's the same story... How many can truly be changed?
