The security situation of the Web3 ecosystem in 2025 remains severe. According to the latest security data statistics, more than 1,200 significant security incidents occurred throughout the year, resulting in economic losses of over $3.5 billion.

Looking at risk distribution across different sectors, CeFi platforms have become the hardest hit. Hot wallet thefts and administrator private key breaches are the main attack vectors, indicating that operational security vulnerabilities of exchanges still attract hackers. In comparison, losses caused by smart contract vulnerabilities in the DeFi sector have decreased proportionally, but new risk points are emerging—deep logical flaws are becoming more covert, and security issues within the Move contract ecosystem are also beginning to surface.

In terms of attack methods, private key theft, phishing scams, and Rug Token schemes remain the three major threats faced by Web3 users. This serves as a reminder that every participant needs to enhance security awareness and implement asset management and risk prevention measures.

3.5 billion USD lost, shall we keep playing? --- Private keys are really a trap; one slip and they're gone --- Phishing scams are truly the worst; we need to be cautious every day --- CeFi is still unsafe; it's better to use self-custody wallets --- Starting from 1200? Feels like it should be higher --- Good prevention is essential, but who can really do it? --- Deep logical loopholes? That sounds more ridiculous than anything --- With so many rug pulls, how are people still willing to buy new tokens? --- Another private key theft; really need to learn more security knowledge --- 3.5 billion USD gone, it seems like more incidents will happen

$3.5 billion lost, this number is truly shocking... Luckily, I have no assets haha --- CeFi has failed again, these exchange people really need to take a good course --- Private keys, you must treat them as your lifeline, one careless move and they’re gone --- Rug tokens are always around, scammers keep innovating --- Move contract issues? Damn, I need to be more cautious again --- Over 1200 incidents, and this is considered "relatively serious"... how many are even lighter? --- Anyway, don’t put all your eggs in one basket, that’s basic, right? --- Phishing scams are really hard to prevent, someone gets caught every day in the group --- Looks like I need to upgrade my security awareness, or I’ll be harvested sooner or later --- The theft of hot wallets... how do exchanges actually prevent this?

3.5 billion USD... Do you still dare to play CeFi? --- Poor key management should lead to losses, whose fault is it? --- Another phishing and rug pull, feels like my IQ is being rubbed on the ground. --- Did the Move ecosystem explode? I knew new public chains are all traps. --- Over 1200 incidents, averaging more than 3 per day, and this is just the ecosystem. --- Hacked hot wallets on exchanges are considered routine operations, right? --- DeFi contract vulnerabilities have decreased, but logical flaws have increased... same soup, different taste. --- Raising security awareness... It's easy to say, but who can guarantee they won't make mistakes? --- $3.5 billion lost, how much of it was self-inflicted? --- Not to offend, CeFi should be completely decentralized.

3.5 billion dollars just gone, acting like nothing happened --- CeFi is so unreliable, who still dares to keep coins on exchanges? --- The Move ecosystem collapse is just a matter of time, it was obvious from the start --- Phishing scams are really annoying, I’ve been deceived once and it’s a painful lesson --- Over 1200 incidents reported, the number probably needs to be updated upward --- Talking about private key security is old news, but users just don’t listen --- Web3 has really become hackers’ ATM, hilarious

3.5 billion USD lost, this is Web3, deserved it Phishing scams are truly incredible, friends are still clicking links, I’ve been numb for a long time CeFi exchanges still dare to claim they are safe, hilarious Private key management has been talked about countless times, but some people just don’t listen The Move ecosystem just started to rise and is already experiencing major issues, it's a bit outrageous Over 1200 incidents, I just want to know how many people actually lost money Hot wallets of exchanges being hacked, isn’t this a routine operation? DeFi vulnerabilities have decreased, but new tricks are emerging, the higher the skill, the higher the magic It’s better to manage your wallet yourself, don’t rely on the platform to be reliable 3.5 billion, maybe just the tip of the iceberg
