On December 8, a major exchange platform in South Korea suffered an epic heist—a hacker took just 54 minutes to make off with over 104 billion Solana ecosystem tokens, equivalent to about 44.5 billion Korean won instantly evaporated. That efficiency rivals robbing a bank with a high-speed train.
What's the most ironic part? You think the assets lying in your wallet are really yours? Wrong. In the eyes of certain "experts," that's just a temporary deposit, ready to be wiped clean at any moment. In the on-chain world, decentralization is just a facade, while attack and defense battles play out every day.
So-called security mechanisms, in the face of real technical prowess, may be nothing but a paper shield. This incident proves once again: if it’s not your private key, it’s not your coins.

Everyone should remember their private key to stay safe
Another shocking theft case.
