The crypto space bled again in November—according to statistics from security agencies, various security incidents caused a total loss of $180 million that month.

There were 15 exploit-type events such as contract attacks, social engineering phishing, and private key leaks, directly wiping out $175 million. The hardest hit was Balancer, which on November 3rd lost over $128 million in one go due to a bug in business logic calculations, affecting several major tokens including WETH, osETH, and wstETH.

Other incidents have continued to unfold after November 4th... This month has been particularly turbulent for DeFi users, sounding the alarm for asset security once again.

No way, Balancer just lost $128 million in one go, that's insane. --- Another private key leak, when will these people start taking things seriously? --- November is a bloodbath, oh my god, how many people got liquidated? --- Can't find the contract bug? Wasn't there anyone auditing it? --- Looks like I need to relearn how to store private keys, you really can't be too careful. --- Balancer really dropped the ball this time, even the business logic had errors. --- $180 million gone, is DeFi still a viable track to play in? --- Another security incident—so many warnings and people still don't listen? --- You really can't defend against social engineering and phishing, gotta stay extra vigilant. --- Even mainstream tokens were affected, looks like no one can escape.

Here we go again, every month we have to go through this ordeal. --- That Balancer incident was insane, $128 million just gone like that? The logic bug was unbelievably absurd. --- Wait, only $175 million from 15 exploits? Why is social engineering phishing so rampant? --- To be honest, that's just how DeFi is—security is never the top priority. --- Judging by this trend, why are there so many incidents in November? Should've just kept everything safely in my wallet from the start. --- Can leaking a private key even be considered an exploit? That's clearly self-sabotage.

180 million gone, oh my god, this November is just hell mode. That Balancer incident was insane—a single bug wiped out 128 million just like that. It's terrifying to think about. Contract vulnerabilities, phishing, private key leaks... How are these old tricks still working? Gotta stay alert, everyone. Bleeding money every month—when will this end? Feels like DeFi users need to hire a bodyguard just to sleep peacefully now. Another incident happened again, and my portfolio can be summed up in two words: trembling fear. Is this the calm before the storm? Things are still unfolding after November 4th... damn. 175 million exploit—the hackers are really playing with fire, getting bolder. 180 million evaporated in a month. If I convert that to USDT... never mind, I don’t even want to calculate.

Here are some comments in different styles: --- That Balancer incident was a straight-up bloodbath, lost $128 million, gave me the chills --- Here we go again, every time they say they've learned their lesson, but then they mess up all over again --- DeFi is seriously high risk, it's still more reassuring to just hodl honestly --- It hasn’t stopped all month, where’s the risk management, everyone --- $175 million evaporated in one month, unbelievable --- Social engineering and phishing are really impossible to guard against --- No matter how thorough contract audits are, they can't make up for flawed logic --- Watching someone else lose $128 million, damn

Damn, something happened again, and my bag is still there. --- That Balancer incident was insane, $128 million gone just like that. --- Every time they say security first, but it’s always the same bloody mess. --- November really is a black month. Can DeFi still be trusted? --- How careless do you have to be to leak your private key like that? --- $180 million, I’ll never make that much in my whole life. --- Another contract bug. What are these auditing firms even doing? --- Damn, there’s more incidents coming? I need to check my wallet ASAP.

--- 1. That Balancer incident was insane, back to square one overnight. 2. Another damn bug? Feels like audits are just for show. 3. $175 million gone just like that? This month is a real bloodbath. 4. If you can’t even keep your private key safe, why are you playing with DeFi… 5. What’s the point of ringing the bell if we’re still bleeding next month? 6. I’ve been saying don’t touch these new projects, do you really need to pay tuition to learn? 7. These numbers are scary—should we pull some liquidity out? 8. 15 cases of social engineering phishing, and people are still falling for it. 9. How did Balancer’s $128 million even pass the audit? 10. Is DeFi still worth playing, guys? ---
