The Necessity of Separating Asset Wallet Computers from Work Browsing Computers——

Otherwise, everyone has moments of misfortune, and you cannot predict when it will happen;

Do not mix computers, do not make any decisions when you are not clear-headed, and for large amounts, try to use cold wallets (the main purpose, besides security, is that it makes your operations more cumbersome, allowing your brain to react to more things);

I had a similar experience a few years ago;

During the Gamefi wave, my friend's TG was hacked, and the hacker discovered that I had scheduled an online meeting with him, so he sent me an invitation link to a new chat software. When I clicked it, I found it required a download, but since it was from a friend, I didn't take it seriously. Although I felt his words were very stiff and strange during the chat, I didn't pay much attention because I had just woken up from a nap, so I proceeded to download it;

Then, within ten minutes, all the NFTs and Ethereum in my computer were drained, and by the time I realized what had happened, it was too late;

Since that year, my work computer and wallet computer have never been mixed again, and I even use separate phones:

✂️ Below, Old Wu has also organized some valuable information about social media & wallet security. Setting these up can reduce the risk of being hacked by 90%——

✅ Wallet authorization cancellation tools:

❗️ Other Tips:

  1. When looking for a certain website, do not Google search, as there are many phishing attempts; go directly to the official Twitter for the link. (But now official Twitter accounts can also be hacked)

  2. Do not randomly open links and files in unfamiliar Twitter, DC, or TG private messages, and do not casually download programs or attachments in emails. Be cautious when installing browser plugins and pay attention to verifying the permissions requested by extensions.

  3. Be wary of sudden airdrops in your wallet, refuse blind signing, and verify the authorization content for every signature.

  4. Keep commonly used browsers, Google accounts, wallets, private keys, password management, and hardware devices in isolated environments, so that if one is hacked, it won't lead to total loss.

  5. Some third-party input methods on phones may have clipboard memory functions; remember to turn this feature off in the settings.

  6. Always maintain skepticism in the crypto space; there is no absolute trust here.

🛟 Friends with time can seriously read @evilcos's article "Blockchain Dark Forest Self-Rescue Manual," which details the principles of being hacked, self-rescue logic, and protective measures:

I once wrote a joke——

In the crypto space, you have to experience:

  1. Being arrested by the police once

  2. Being scammed by an exchange once

  3. Being scammed by a wallet once

  4. Being scammed by a #crypto investment institution once

  5. Holding your private key and forgetting the password once

  6. Holding your private key and being hacked once

  7. Lending money to relatives and friends who do not pay it back once

Then you will understand the importance of private keys and what property ownership means!

Everyone is the primary responsible person for their own assets. I once suffered a silent loss of 2wu from being hacked, and since then, security has become the top priority. After reading this article, remember to check your wallet authorizations, consolidate your assets, reorganize your private keys and mnemonic phrases, and fill in any gaps; it will never be wrong!

Please remember, the crypto space is a dark forest, and every contract is a gun-wielding hunter. A moment of negligence can lead to a bullet hitting you right between the eyes.

I hope that in 2025, everyone can be safe and prosperous!

Thanks to @lsp8940 for sharing the experience, and I also hope my brother can bounce back and that such incidents will never happen again!
