A multi-signature wallet was hacked, with over $27.3 million in assets at risk. According to on-chain security monitoring, the hacker successfully gained control of the wallet. The recent operation was particularly aggressive — withdrawing 1,000 ETH from Aave, equivalent to approximately $3.24 million. Even more alarming, the hacker subsequently transferred a large amount of assets to TornadoCash for mixing and laundering. As of now, 6,300 tokens have been sent to the mixer. This incident once again sounds the alarm: even "standard security configurations" like multi-signature wallets are vulnerable to being compromised. While the DeFi ecosystem offers abundant liquidity, user asset security requires multiple layers of protection — from wallet architecture and private key management to interaction risks, every link must be taken seriously.

Multi-signature can be broken too. What are we small retail investors even playing for... It's better to be honest and use a cold wallet. Once TornadoCash starts causing trouble, the entire ecosystem gets stuck.

Can multi-signature be broken? There's really no way out now... It seems we all need to re-evaluate our wallet architecture, relying solely on multi-signature can't hold up at all.

Once again, multi-signature has been compromised, and I’m stunned. $27.3 million just disappeared like that—how is this still called a secure setup? Laughable. TornadoCash’s chaos caused people to vanish into thin air. Everyone really needs to tighten up on private key management.

Multi-signature can be broken too, how can we play like this... Feels like there's nothing absolutely secure.

Another multi-signature wallet has a security breach? Who can prevent this?

Can multi-signature be broken? I need to check my wallet immediately... This is really outrageous.

Multi-signature wallets can also be compromised. Isn't this just the "fall of the fortress" in the digital age... Early expectations of on-chain security were too naive.

If multi-signature can be broken, then it's a miracle that my broken wallet is still alive. Just for reference.
