2025 is coming to an end. Looking back on this year, the situation of crypto wallets and asset security has not improved — in fact, it has worsened.

The scam ecosystem is evolving. Attacks are becoming more covert and harder to detect.

In the past, scammers would directly ask users to input their seed phrases, a primitive tactic that is now outdated. Now they are more cunning — planting traps in transactions, wallet operations, and even seemingly normal DeFi interactions, luring you step by step. Once authorized, assets can disappear instantly.

This is the current landscape of threats.

Really, I've seen too many friends mysteriously fall for scams this year, and they are the kind that are impossible to spot. It's hard to guard against everything.

I’ve only come to understand this after being scammed myself. Now even normal interactions require careful consideration. --- Authorization stuff really, if you're not careful, it’s gone in an instant. Too scary. --- Scam teams are evolving faster than we are. Unbelievable. --- No wonder so many people have been saying their wallets were emptied recently. Turns out it’s all this trick. --- DeFi interactions must be cautious. These days, you can’t trust anyone. --- It feels like online scams reached a new height in 2025, making it hard to defend against. --- Honestly, now I have to check multiple times before I dare to click on slightly more complex operations. --- So now, we can only verify ourselves. Platforms can’t protect us.

Oh my God, scammers these days are getting more and more cunning, it's hard to guard against them. Once you authorize, it's gone. I can't go on like this. I don't even dare to interact with DeFi anymore, who knows which one is a trap. Honestly, in 2025, I've been scammed twice. Now everything looks like a scam. Cold wallets are the safest, hot wallets are just a ticking time bomb.

Damn, it's the same old scam upgrade... I fell for it once two months ago, and I still get angry thinking about it now. Really, nowadays scammers write better code than technicians, and if you're not careful, you'll get caught. These days, wallet security is more critical than defenses; there can be no slack at all.

Really, this year more people are getting scammed than last year... Those new tricks are endless, authorizing something without thinking just leads to loss --- Strolling around in DeFi, being cautious, afraid that clicking the wrong button will wipe out your assets --- The mnemonic trick is outdated now, everyone plays it covertly. Who would have thought that normal interactions could also be a trap --- Honestly, by 2025, we’ll be racing against the scam ecosystem, a slight mistake and it’s gg --- Step by step, being led in... Mom, this is the most ruthless, you just can’t prevent that kind --- Authorization, authorization, one click and it disappears, just like that your assets no longer belong to you --- Am I the only one who feels that the current on-chain environment is more dangerous than before? --- Every day I worry about where I might get scammed, how do people live like this
