#数字资产生态回暖 Recently heard about something worth sharing. A friend lost 3 million yuan, the reason sounds unbelievable but is real — his wife helped transfer some funds, and as a result, his assets disappeared.



Here's what happened: he sent a screenshot of his seed phrase on WeChat. When his wife logged into the wallet using an old Android phone, all the assets in the account were instantly wiped out. There was no way to file a report because the hacker had already fled.

Later, the truth was shocking: that old phone's browser had an embedded malicious plugin, specifically monitoring the clipboard. As soon as you copy the seed phrase, it records it. This guy's painful lesson led to three golden rules:

**Rule 1: Write down your seed phrase by hand.** Don't screenshot it, don't transmit it via WeChat, email, or other methods. This thing is your entire life savings, not a file.

**Rule 2: Use a dedicated device for your wallet app.** Never use a phone filled with plugins or all sorts of random apps to access your wallet. It's like writing your password on the hallway of an office building.

**Rule 3: Don't let family members handle it if they don't know how to operate.** If they need to help with transfers, do it with full video monitoring, guide them step-by-step, and confirm the address three times before clicking.

Hackers' servers automatically delete all logs after 72 hours, so there's nowhere to trace back.

Now, do a self-check: Is your seed phrase handwritten? Are the plugins on your phone trustworthy? Do your family members realize how dangerous this stuff is? In this field, if you're not cautious about risks, sooner or later, risks will find you.
