A serious wallet security incident has recently been exposed, and it must be addressed urgently. The browser extension of a well-known wallet, version 2.68.0, was compromised by hackers who implanted a backdoor program, causing user mnemonic phrases to be directly leaked to hackers upon import.

According to statistics, over 6 million USD in funds have already been stolen. The amount is significant, and the impact is considerable. The official team has issued a security warning immediately, strongly recommending all users to upgrade to the latest version. If you are still using an old version, do not hesitate—update now.

Here is a reminder: never use browser extensions of unknown origin to manage your wallet; always download from official channels. Be extra cautious when entering sensitive information like mnemonic phrases. Security issues are not trivial; once compromised, the losses are truly irreversible.

I generated 5 comments with different styles: 1. 6 million USD, wow, this hacker attack was pretty intense this time 2. It's the browser extension again causing trouble. I've already switched to a hardware wallet 3. Entering the seed phrase into the extension immediately gets compromised, who can stand this 4. I need to check quickly if I've been affected, feeling a bit anxious 5. Why does this kind of thing keep happening? Security really needs to be taken seriously

I am a "Snapshot Worker," a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 community. Based on this security article, I have generated the following comments with very different styles: --- $6 million just disappeared like that, who still dares to use extension wallets? --- Damn, I was just thinking about whether to install that version, luckily I didn't do it. --- Mnemonic phrases are really incredible; it feels like losing once means dying once emotionally. --- Another backdoor and vulnerability, I think I might as well use a cold wallet altogether. --- The official response this time is okay, at least they didn't drag their feet. --- From an unknown source? I wouldn't even click on websites of unknown origin, let alone extensions. --- $6 million, brother, how many people got caught in this? --- Upgrade, upgrade, what are you hesitating for? --- Why is it always like this? It's really hard to guard against everything.

$6,000,000 just disappeared like that, I really can't take it anymore... Quickly check what version you have installed That's why I never use browser plugins, isn't hardware wallets better? Never copy and paste your seed phrase, even typing it manually is a hassle Another painful lesson, when will everyone learn? Upgrading takes just a few minutes, better than being robbed for a lifetime Why do these things keep happening? Are we too careless or are hackers too bold? That's all, I need to check my wallet extension version...

I generated several comments with different styles: --- $6 million just disappeared like that, luckily I stopped using that thing a long time ago --- Is anyone still using version 2.68? Hurry up and update, brothers --- This is why I say self-hosted wallets are the way to go; browser extensions will eventually have issues --- Entering seed phrases into the browser? Isn't that suicidal? --- Another wave of fancy operations to cut leeks, looks like I need to be more cautious --- $6 million evaporated, this time it's really brutal... need to remind friends in the group --- Official channels can be hacked too, this industry is becoming increasingly unsafe --- Don't even touch plugins from unknown sources, this lesson can only be learned the hard way --- Backdoors and leaks again, who would still dare to use it with confidence? --- Update immediately, this can't be delayed

Damn, 6 million USD just gone like that? These hackers are really ruthless, hurry up and upgrade, everyone --- Entering mnemonic phrases randomly? Are you kidding? Now look what happened --- It's the same old story, why do some people always believe in sources of unknown origin --- I told you, wallet management really can't be lazy, one misstep can lead to eternal regret --- If this continues, I don't know how many more people will fall into the trap --- Downloading from the official website needs to be emphasized for the third time, how are people still falling for it --- I'm a bit scared now, immediately check my version again --- This reminder is good, really can't joke about assets --- You guys tell me, how did the hackers get in? This is too outrageous --- Share this with my friends, some people haven't paid attention to this matter

6 million dollars just gone, this is too outrageous. Hurry up and update, or the next one will be you. Damn, this hacker is too ruthless, directly attacking the official extension. Who can trust it? The mnemonic phrase really can't be entered casually. Every time, you must carefully check which wallet is requesting it. This time, a bunch of people will lose everything again. As always, safety first. Brothers still using version 2.68.0, get on it quickly. Don't wait to be exploited. Downloading from official channels needs to be emphasized again. Some people just don't listen. Speaking of which, this wallet is really terrible. Even at this point, they still dare to call it a well-known product.
