Multi-signature wallets hacked, the scale of losses raises concerns. According to on-chain monitoring data, a hacker successfully compromised a multi-signature wallet, stealing a total of $27.3 million in assets. This incident highlights that even multi-signature protection mechanisms are not 100% secure.

The hacker acted quickly and skillfully. From the compromised wallet, the hacker recently withdrew 1,000 ETH (worth approximately $3.24 million), and then immediately used a mixer to launder the funds. As of now, the hacker has deposited a total of 6,300 ETH into the mixer, equivalent to about $19.4 million. Additionally, the hacker holds other assets worth approximately $9.75 million.

This incident serves as a reminder to Web3 users: no matter how complex the wallet structure or how comprehensive the security measures, high vigilance is required in private key management, authorization approval, and interaction risks. Ultimately, the security responsibility of the DeFi ecosystem still falls on the users themselves.

Good morning, it's another variation of the sandwich attack show. Multi-signature can't save the greedy people's wallets.

Can multi-signature be broken? What kind of game is this... Looks like I have to toughen up and learn security myself.

Multi-signature can be broken, who can I trust then? Well, self-managed private keys are still reliable.

Can multi-signature be broken? I just want to know how this guy did it, how professional he must be... $27.3 million is gone just like that, truly incredible.

Multi-signature can be broken, I'm convinced. It feels like nothing is secure anymore.

Here we go again? Multi-signature has been broken, let me tell you, buddy, no matter how fancy the scheme, it won't work. --- 27.3 million is gone, mixers have once again become a haven for money laundering, now it's all good. --- Honestly, you still have to be vigilant yourself; don't expect some divine solution to save you. --- A hacker washed 6,300 Ethereum in one night—this efficiency is truly incredible. --- I thought multi-signature was secure, haha, Web3 is just a casino. --- Private key protection, authorization approval... what's the use of talking about these? If you're going to be hacked, you're going to be hacked. --- Another mixer, this thing should be banned, right? Otherwise, money laundering will never end.

ngl the whole "multisig is bulletproof" narrative just collapsed again... like watching another deconstructed myth in the digital provenance space, you know?

Multi-signature can be broken too; it seems nothing is truly secure... You still have to stay vigilant yourself.

Can multi-signature wallets be hacked too? Does that mean my single-signature wallet still has a chance? Haha
