Safety is a "top priority project," and we must remain vigilant and continuously learn.

Recently, a certain exchange was hacked overnight, resulting in nearly $1.5 billion stolen. This news sparked heated discussions and doubts within the industry, once again putting the security issues of centralized exchanges in the spotlight. On February 22, in response to user concerns about security at exchanges and the current security challenges facing the crypto industry, Huobi HTX held a themed Space on the social platform X titled "Industry Crisis, How to Cope Together? Is There an Optimal Solution for Security in the Crypto Industry?" During the event, Huobi HTX global advisor Sun Yuchen, along with two authoritative security institutions, SlowMist and GoPlus Security, and several KOLs, engaged in in-depth discussions and analyses on topics such as how to handle theft for retail investors, how to maximize the reduction of security risks, security incidents on-chain and at CEX, and how CEX should collaborate with institutions to protect fund safety.

Safety is a "top priority project," and we must remain vigilant and continuously learn

During the live broadcast, Sun Yuchen stated that it is evident that the methods of hacker attacks are constantly evolving, gradually shifting from early hot wallet attacks to multi-signature wallet attacks. Therefore, exchanges must remain vigilant at all times and dynamically enhance their security protections.

In his view, security issues are a "top priority project." Maintaining a sense of awe and continuously learning the latest security technologies in the industry is essential for achieving lasting safety. Additionally, security is akin to personal health management; one cannot rely entirely on external guarantees. Exchanges need to continuously improve their internal capabilities and enhance security awareness and importance before problems arise, to remain invulnerable in long-term development.

Sun Yuchen added that every business and product should prioritize security as a core premise. This is not only a responsibility towards user assets but also the cornerstone of healthy industry development. When TRON was established, it implemented a native multi-signature function, effectively avoiding many security issues. The launch of USDD 2.0 is backed by years of in-depth observation, technical accumulation, and a profound understanding of security risks in the stablecoin sector. Similarly, exchanges should strengthen security mechanisms from the source in their system design and operations to minimize the occurrence of security incidents.

SlowMist suggested that exchanges should regularly conduct comprehensive security audits, including code audits, system vulnerability scans, and multiple security assessments of smart contracts. They should also actively participate in security communities, industry security conferences, and other activities to learn the latest security offensive and defensive technologies. Furthermore, regular internal security training should be conducted to enhance the security awareness and emergency response capabilities of all employees.

Regarding the controversy over community users' suggestions for "CZ to recommend that hacked exchanges suspend withdrawals," Sun Yuchen analyzed that from the perspective of exchanges, CZ's suggestion is reasonable. He pointed out that the first few hours after assets are stolen are crucial for investigating issues and ensuring safety. Suspending withdrawals is aimed at completely eliminating risks, but the suspension time should be minimized to reduce the impact on users.

Sun Yuchen called for "the entire industry, including exchanges, security institutions, and the community, to work closely together through technology sharing, security innovation, and information exchange to jointly address hacker threats and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the industry."

Huobi HTX's Security Defense Line: A True Reflection of the Iceberg Theory

Sun Yuchen candidly stated during the live broadcast that user safety is extremely important for Huobi HTX, which has a twelve-year development history.

Previously, at the "TRON & HTX DAO Exchange Conference" in Hong Kong on February 21, Sun Yuchen shared his requirements for Huobi HTX regarding security. He stated that the platform must ensure the safety of user assets, particularly by strengthening multi-signature support and security alerts, and should explore better ways to prevent security issues such as label scams.

In fact, in recent years, Huobi HTX has comprehensively upgraded its security measures, successfully implementing new features such as multi-device login, remote login, and abnormal transfer alerts. Additionally, it has publicly disclosed Merkle tree asset proof data 28 times, with reserve ratios exceeding 100%.

According to Sun Yuchen's introduction during the live broadcast, Huobi HTX has collaborated with numerous white hat teams to enhance the platform's defense capabilities and risk response mechanisms through continuous offensive and defensive testing, security drills, and vulnerability discovery. At the same time, Huobi HTX actively follows global crypto security incidents and conducts in-depth research on the principles and methods of hacker attacks for effective prevention.

As Sun Yuchen stated, Huobi HTX's security defense line is a true reflection of the "iceberg theory." The good experience users see on the surface is backed by the platform's tremendous efforts in unseen areas. In the future, Huobi HTX will conduct security foundational design from a global perspective, systematically deploy security strategies, strengthen platform security reviews and management, and expand industry security cooperation, allowing this "iceberg" to have a more substantial security root system, thereby solidifying this security defense line for users and the entire industry.
