1. $12 million just gone? Or was it earlier this year? Truly outrageous. 2. This kind of thing never ends; it's time to learn a lesson. 3. Due diligence? Ha, most people probably don't even look at the code. 4. Here we go again with the security risk talk, but how many can truly protect themselves? 5. Web3 should have been regulated long ago; now it's a big fish eating small fish situation. 6. Don't just say stay vigilant; platforms need to be responsible. 7. $12 million... someone lost everything. 8. Feels like this kind of news happens once a month; is the frequency that high? 9. Basically, greed is to blame; there's no such thing as completely safe. 10. Fraud again? Fine, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) will never go out of style.
