Just saw a tragic incident—someone got hacked for $27 million in crypto assets 5 hours ago, really feel for them...
Let this be a reminder for everyone: Quickly turn off Chrome's automatic downloads so files can't silently get on your computer. Also, don't randomly click on unknown links in Telegram on the phone that holds your main wallet—it's really too risky.
I checked the on-chain records of those two victim wallets, and sure enough, nearly $20 million worth of assets were transferred out in batches five hours ago, done very professionally. Incidents like this are happening more and more, so everyone really needs to be careful.

Damn, again? You really have to be this careful these days.
By the way, I already turned off that Chrome setting, but TG links are a real danger zone—my heart pounds every time.
Over 20 million just gone like that, and the method is really professional... Even though everyone knows the risks, someone still falls for it.

27 million gone, you have to be really strong-minded for that, I would break down instantly.

Chrome’s auto-download is really a landmine, I turned it off ages ago. Seriously, who still dares to click random links on TG these days?
---
All the on-chain records are right there, the method is terrifyingly professional. These guys are truly experts at anti-tracking analysis.
---
Nowadays, just a random phishing link can scam a ton of people. The space is definitely getting deeper and riskier.
---
I feel like I need to review the permissions on all my wallets again, this story really hits hard.
---
$20 million siphoned off in batches? From a behavioral standpoint, this is definitely a team operation, no small retail investor could pull this off.
---
Why do people always insist on clicking those suspicious links? I really don’t get it.
---
This whole thing looks scary, but honestly, anyone with some basic security knowledge should be able to avoid it.

Nine out of ten links in TG are traps, and the last one is a bigger trap.

Oh my god, 27 million just gone like that? I need to check my settings right away, or one day I might get hit too.
These hackers are really professional, you can tell just by looking at the on-chain records—scary stuff.
You really do need to turn off Chrome's automatic downloads, I never paid attention to that before.
But seriously, who keeps that much in their wallet and still clicks unknown links? That’s just way too careless.
You really have to be careful everywhere now, who knows if you'll be the next one.

Damn, 27 million just gone like that. This method is really ruthless... I better check my own settings ASAP.
Oh my god, once again it's a TG link causing trouble. I knew you shouldn't just click on random stuff.
Hackers these days are even more professional than retail investors. You really have to stay alert.
I've fallen for that Chrome auto-download trap before—still gives me chills.
You can trace it all on-chain, so this guy really got sniped. Feels bad.
Feels like security risks in our circle just keep increasing.
No wonder I've heard about several big theft cases recently. It's impossible to guard against everything.
