What is the cost of data privacy failure? $4.4M is just the tip of the iceberg.

When users lose control over the system, engagement naturally declines. Once the architecture collapses, subsequent troubles follow—legal risks, soaring operational costs, and damage to brand reputation, a triple blow.

In the Web3 era, this issue becomes even more urgent. Privacy protection is not just a technical issue but the cornerstone of business sustainability. Whether a platform can build a system that users trust directly determines how far it can go.

Basically, if privacy is gone, users will leave. These days, who still trusts platforms that don't take data seriously...

Basically, without privacy, there's no trust; without trust, the platform dies. These days, do you still want to survive by cutting leeks?

Once privacy is broken, engagement collapses. This chain reaction is truly incredible... What is Web3 even doing?

Once the privacy architecture collapses, everything will fall apart; by then, even burning money won't fill this gap.

To be honest, these 4.4M can't really hold back much; the real cost is the wave of user churn... Once trust is gone, the money can't be kept.

To be honest, privacy is really the Achilles' heel for most projects. Once users realize their data isn't secure, what engagement can you expect... they'll leave sooner or later.
