The day before yesterday, I shared a complete review of a wallet hack. As a result, I logged in this morning to find that Twitter had been deleted and replaced with a spam tweet. Worse still, I discovered that the account had also been hacked. This incident reflects a serious reality — when a wallet private key is exposed, attackers often do more than steal assets; they also take over your social accounts to continue their crimes. If you are also navigating the Web3 space, be sure to pay attention to three core defenses: private key management, hardware wallet usage, and phishing risk prevention. Any vulnerability in one of these areas can lead to more severe consequences than you might imagine.

Damn, this guy is so unlucky. His social accounts were taken over and he's still being harassed by hackers. --- Once the private key is exposed, it's really over. Don't just think about the money; the account is gone too. That's true despair. --- Hardware wallets are not optional, everyone. This incident says it all. --- Looking at this review makes me nervous. I need to check my defenses immediately. --- Phishing is unstoppable. One careless move and you're doomed. --- This is the most terrifying part of Web3: assets are gone, and social accounts keep causing repeated harm. --- I remember seeing similar cases before. Hackers really won't miss any opportunity to continue their evil deeds. --- Fortunately, I use a hardware wallet. Otherwise, I would have been done for long ago. --- The key point is that this guy even had to publicly review what happened. Just thinking about it is a secondary blow.

Whoa, this is so terrible. The Twitter account and the linked wallet have both been compromised... I need to quickly check if my hardware wallet is still intact.

Expose the private key, and your entire life is over... This is not alarmist talk; this guy is a living lesson.

Damn, that's why I never keep official assets in my mobile wallet. It's asking for trouble.

To be honest, this guy has been through some tough stuff. Getting hacked on Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg; once the private key is leaked, it's really over. You can't skip the hardware wallet stage, or else you'll be waiting to get completely wiped out.

Damn, this isn't just an ordinary theft, they even hacked Twitter... No wonder they say that private keys are more important than life itself. --- That's why I'd rather spend extra money on a hardware wallet than risk it. It's really not worth it. --- Damn, another real-life lesson. It makes me feel sad for him. --- So hackers not only want money but also want your account to keep playing along. That’s truly unethical. --- Why do people now lack awareness of precautions on the blockchain? It’s so competitive.

Damn, this is really adding insult to injury. The Twitter account is gone, and it got hacked. I need to change my password immediately.

Really incredible, this guy's luck is just too strong. Got robbed and still got his Twitter hacked.
