A major security alert just came through: state-backed threat actors have pulled off the biggest cryptocurrency heist on record this year, walking away with over $2 billion in digital assets.
This marks a significant escalation in organized crypto theft activity. The coordinated nature of these attacks highlights growing sophistication among state-sponsored groups targeting the blockchain ecosystem.
For traders and investors, this serves as a critical reminder about security protocols. Whether you're holding assets on exchanges or in self-custody wallets, heightened vigilance around private key management and two-factor authentication is essential. The crypto market remains an attractive target, and defensive measures shouldn't be overlooked in a bullish environment.

No way, here comes the trap again? Even state-backed ones can be easily dumping.

Damn, another state-sponsored hacker. Why don't you just rob me directly?

2 billion gone? These state-level hackers are really something. Small retail investors like us need to be even more careful.

Now it's really time to start self-checking the wallet... What does 2 billion mean?

tbh the whole "state actors doing the heavy lifting now" thing is... arguably just exposing what we've known for years about non-trivial externalities in our governance primitives. path dependency hits different when nation-states are the ones writing the playbook, ngl
