The Truebit verification protocol was hacked, and 8,535 ETH disappeared without a trace. At current prices, the loss is close to $26.44 million.

This incident also serves as a reminder — on-chain operations may seem convenient, but the risks are very real. Whether it's logical vulnerabilities in smart contracts or improper private key management, both can become entry points for hackers. Therefore, no matter what on-chain interactions you perform, safety should always come first. Multi-signature wallets, permission audits, and operation confirmations are basic practices that should not be skipped.

Over 8,500 ETH, someone is definitely going to be liquidated. Truebit's move is really ruthless; how can we prevent such things from happening?

Another big scandal, Truebit has really been completely exploited this time, and $26 million is just gone? Don't pretend you didn't see the contract audit, brother. Multi-signature wallets are not optional. I just want to know how over 8,000 ETH couldn't be protected; it seems the big players are a bit too confident.

Another big scandal, Truebit really had a major failure this time. 8535 ETH, how careless can one be? On-chain security really can't be taken lightly; multi-signature wallets are a must. Talking about risks every day, but some people still fall into the trap. 26.44 million USD just disappeared like that. Contract vulnerabilities are unavoidable, but private key management is indeed prone to issues. Another reminder—don't be greedy for cheap prices; security audits are worth every penny. This incident with Truebit has caused frustration in the entire ecosystem. Who can guarantee their contract is 100% secure? Reading this news makes me want to check my wallet permissions again.

Data shows another smart contract vulnerability, but such incidents should have been anticipated long ago. The loss of 8535 tokens is unreasonable. Why does the auditing process always seem to be a mere formality?
