According to the on-chain security team tracking, an attack on a multi-signature wallet has been exposed. The hacker stole $27.3M worth of funds from the compromised wallet. Recently, the attacker withdrew 1,000 ETH (worth $3.24M) from a leading lending protocol, then laundered the money using privacy mixing tools. On-chain data shows that the attacker has deposited a total of 6,300 ETH into mixing services, amounting to $19.4M. This incident once again exposes the vulnerability of multi-signature wallets at critical moments and also reflects the common tactic of attackers quickly transferring illegal funds using DeFi liquidity and privacy tools. The community should be vigilant about the risk prevention measures of such protocols.

Coming again? Multi-signature isn't even safe anymore, so how are ordinary people supposed to play? It's both mixing coins and lending, can hackers change up their methods... 27.3M just disappeared like that. Where's the promised blockchain transparency? DeFi really is interesting; the more liquidity, the easier it is to be exploited. By the way, whose multi-signature key is so loose that it can be attacked? Mixing services must be making a lot of money; 6,300 ETH just went into the account for free. I thought multi-signature was the ultimate protection, but it seems it's just so-so.

Once again, the multi-signature wallet has been compromised. When will this trick be completely resolved? This time I really lost a lot; 27 million just disappeared like that. Hackers' techniques are indeed slick. Mixing tools have so many ETH, but they can still be traced on-chain, which means privacy solutions need to be upgraded. I also need to quickly check my multi-signature wallet; I'm a bit panicked. The liquidity of lending protocols is too good, which ironically makes them accomplices. In DeFi, risk control can never keep up with hackers' quick thinking.

Is it another 0day leak for multi-signature wallets? These hackers are really getting a bit reckless. --- 27.3M just gone like that, and it's still a top protocol. I really can't hold it together anymore. --- The mixing coin scheme has been old news for a long time. The problem is, why does DEX liquidity still have such a big hole? --- Multi-signature = masks? I feel like no one dares to touch it now. --- I just want to know when these mixing tools will be locked down. They're basically wild black-hat hackers running free. --- 6300 ETH money laundering... On-chain transparency, what a joke. Isn't this just public execution?

Another large theft, multi-signature wallets really can't be trusted Can multi-signature be hacked? How strong are the hackers... Mixing 6300 ETH, this technique is really advanced DeFi liquidity is deep, making it easier for hackers to launder money I've said before that multi-signature wallets have vulnerabilities, now do you believe it? Over ten million dollars just gone, how many people are going to go bankrupt These days, fund security is more important than returns

Once again, multi-signature wallets fail. This trick is way too familiar. --- Mixing and money laundering are so fast now; privacy tools have really become hackers' ATMs. --- 27.3M just disappeared like that. Multi-signature really can't be trusted. --- DeFi's liquidity is convenient, but it also makes things easier for bad actors. --- 6300 ETH sent to a mixer—this efficiency is incredible... --- Every time I see this kind of thing, I think of my multi-signature setup. I need to check it. --- Privacy protocols were meant to protect privacy, but they ended up becoming tools for money laundering. Irony.

Here we go again, multi-signature wallets have failed again. How the hell are we supposed to play like this? --- Mixing services are疯狂吸金, these hackers understand DeFi liquidity better than we do. --- 27.3M just gone like that? I can't even manage my own private keys, what else is there to think about? --- Vulnerabilities exposed at critical moments, it's basically an invitation to hackers. --- Saying security but getting hacked, when will this cycle end? --- 6300 ETH into the mixing pool, how long will it take to wash it all out? --- Multi-signature is really a useless design, might as well use single signatures for a quicker result. --- DeFi liquidity is so huge, hackers transfer funds as if playing, what can we small retail investors do to resist?

Is the multi-signature wallet broken again? Do I really have to store the private key on a piece of paper?
