Bought BTC on a certain wallet platform 7 years ago. Now that the platform has exposed a data breach, my account information has fallen into the hands of strangers. Even more terrifying: the other party didn't change the password at all, and I was able to log in directly with the original account. The only barrier was IP restriction blocking me out. But the platform's attitude towards handling this... makes people doubt whether wallet security is truly reliable. How many similar risks are exposed behind this?

Wow, that's why I never dared to put my coins from 7 years ago on this kind of platform. I'm really exhausted.

Wow, data leaks can be so casual? IP restrictions have become the only line of defense, this is outrageous.

Damn, this is outrageous. Didn't even change the password? This platform is really... not taking security seriously at all.

ngl this is basically serving a half-baked security recipe on a silver platter... ip restrictions as your only firewall? that's not a kitchen, that's a dumpster fire waiting to happen. wallet platforms really out here simmering in their own negligence while we're supposed to trust them with life savings lmao

This is outrageous. Data leaks can be so devastating, and IP restrictions have become the only lifeline?

Uh… that's why I never trust third-party wallets. Self-custody is the way to go. --- IP restrictions can be the last line of defense? This platform was directly breached. --- Suddenly exposed after 7 years of no activity. Who knows what happened during that time… --- Data leaks but you can still log in… I really don’t understand this level of security. --- Hurry up and withdraw your coins. Leaving them there is just too risky. --- This is ridiculous. Changing your password isn’t enough; IP should be the only line of defense? Who designed this system? --- I’ve said it before, even big platforms can fail. This time, it’s confirmed. --- The scary part is that they don’t care at all about this, not even with any emergency response plans? --- These things happen all the time, just no one has exposed them.

Data leaks are really the worst. Is this how wallet platforms operate? IP restrictions saved your life.
