A recent security analysis report has exposed a very real issue—phishing attacks remain the most common method for stealing funds. According to MistTrack's Q4 data, the entire quarter saw 300 reports of stolen funds, involving approximately $1 million. Among these, 9 cases were successfully frozen or recovered, demonstrating that quick response can indeed save the situation.
Specifically, attack methods continue to evolve. Low-level but effective tactics like forged domains and auto-complete hijacking still run rampant, but more cunning are social engineering and job scam schemes. Hackers now prefer to impersonate recruiters or legitimate service providers, gaining your trust before striking. Coupled with new tricks like malware implantation and social media scams, users can fall victim with a single slip-up.
The bottom line for defense is: don't trust unfamiliar links, avoid clicking unknown files, and verify identities through official channels. Wallet security is never 100%, but these basic practices can reduce risks significantly.

Only 9 out of 300 complaints are recovered, this data is really incredible... Need to change my password quickly.

Data shows that only 3% of stolen funds can be recovered. Ironically, everyone is still relying on basic protections like "not clicking links," which is a middle school level defense...

Only 9 out of 300 complaints were recovered, this ratio is a bit shaky. You still need to be careful and watch out for yourself.
