I have a headache to share with everyone—my Telegram account was hacked. The most embarrassing thing after being hacked is that those who want to take advantage will impersonate you to borrow money from friends, so I have to say: do not lend. If you see messages from me asking to borrow money, just ignore them. This also serves as a reminder to everyone that although many people use TG, account security really needs to be taken seriously. Two-factor authentication, setting strong passwords, and not clicking on unfamiliar links—these are old advice, but they can indeed prevent a lot of trouble. Everyone also needs to be careful; the Web3 community is a mixed bag, and it's hard to guard against everything.

Damn, the fact that TG was hacked is really unbelievable, there's no way to prevent it, brother. When it comes to account security, honestly, it takes effort, 2FA must be enabled. These days, who still trusts loan scam messages... just block them, no doubt. Web3 is a risky place, be cautious, it’s a ship that can sink at any moment, truly hard to defend against. Passwords should be as complex as possible, although it’s annoying, it’s worth it. I've seen too many accounts stolen and the chaos it causes in groups, it's not fun. Next time, remember to back up your recovery codes, don’t regret it when you need them. TG’s platform security is average, just stay alert where it’s necessary.

Damn, getting your TG account hacked is just too crazy. Now you have to watch out for fake accounts borrowing money. --- Two-factor authentication is non-negotiable. So many people have suffered because they were lazy. --- Web3 is so muddy, new scams pop up every day, and there's no way to defend against all of them. --- Never trust any borrowing information, just block them directly—it's the safest bet. --- Strong passwords are really not a small matter. Don't use things like birthdays or similar. --- Ugh, I have to change my password again. So annoying. --- Never click on unfamiliar links. That's a painful lesson learned. --- Why is the probability of TG accounts being hacked so high? It really makes people anxious. --- This reminder came just in time. I'm starting to feel numb. --- Web3 is like this—full of scams but also incredibly attractive.

That's why I never click on unfamiliar links, you really can't be too careful. When I see loan requests, I just block them directly. My friends all know my rules. Security in TG really needs to be taken seriously; too many people are still vulnerable. 2FA has saved me several times. Web3 is like a rainstorm zone. Don't just authorize anything casually, learn from the painful lessons. Account hacking is really disgusting; awareness of prevention must be up to date. Our circle is like this; you have to guard your own door.

Haha, I got phished this time, I can't defend against it either. --- The theft of TG is really disgusting, my lesson to everyone. --- Two-factor authentication is not optional; you must enable it. --- This is how the Web3 community is—defense is impossible, it's very real. --- Take good care of your accounts, or it’ll be more painful than losing coins. --- Delete any loan-related messages directly, don’t ask why. --- Honestly, don’t click on any links, really. --- This reminder came just in time, quickly check your security settings.

Damn, another theft, Web3 is just a scam community --- TG account security really can't be taken lightly, I've been phished once too --- Haha, so you're the one borrowing money, hilarious --- Two-factor authentication really needs to be enabled, no matter how annoying, it's better than being stolen --- These days, even TG isn't safe, definitely need to stay more alert --- I strongly agree, don't click on random links, the risk is huge --- But speaking of which, how come thieves are so idle --- Wow, this trick is brilliant, impersonating someone borrowing money to scam a wave --- Good reminder from the expert, there are too many pitfalls in Web3 --- I've also experienced account theft on TG, that feeling is really frustrating
