How absurd... South Korea's tax agency accidentally leaked a Ledger wallet's mnemonic phrase in a press release. It's not a joke, the photo wasn't even blurred.



Result? $4.8 million disappeared. On the same day, they transferred 4 million PRTG tokens to an anonymous wallet. Like, the mnemonic was exposed there, anyone could access it.

What shocks me most is that a government agency has no basic security awareness. Experts have already criticized it heavily, saying there was a lack of cybersecurity knowledge. The recovery phrase was leaked, and just like that, we saw one of the biggest asset leaks in the public sector recently.

It's the kind of mistake you can't believe happens, but it really does. Information security seems to be the last item on their priority list.
