Multi-signature wallet security incidents sound the alarm again. According to on-chain data, a hacker successfully compromised and took over a multi-signature wallet, directly transferring assets worth up to $27.3 million.
The specific development of the incident is as follows: the hacker first withdrew 1,000 ETH (approximately $3.24 million) from the Aave protocol, then began large-scale money laundering operations through a mixing service. As of now, the hacker has deposited 6,300 ETH into the mixing service, amounting to about $19.4 million.
More notably, the hacker is still actively operating in the market. They hold leveraged long positions worth nearly $10 million, with an ETH exposure of up to $20.5 million, and have also allocated $10.7 million in DAI stablecoins. This series of actions indicates that the hacker is not just a passive asset thief but is actively engaging in trading strategies. This incident once again reminds users that even multi-signature wallets are at risk of being compromised.

If multi-signature can be broken, what can we still trust... Is this hacker still trading? Feels like playing with fire.

Multi-signature wallets can all be hacked. Who can rest assured... It seems there's nothing absolutely secure anymore.

If multi-signature wallets can be hacked, then what's the point of our small retail investors' private keys? Might as well just give up and do nothing.
