Recently, I heard that many on-chain tools have experienced account theft incidents. Popular tools like GMGN and Debot have been repeatedly exposed to issues both recently and in the past.

Thinking carefully about the root cause, these front-end tools generally share a common flaw—the design logic of these tools prioritizes the fast-paced nature of on-chain operations, directly exposing users' wallet private keys to Bot project teams. It may seem like a shortcut, but in reality, it completely hands over the security of your assets to others.

Losing the most critical security safeguard for a few seconds of convenience is not worth it. Especially when dealing with large amounts of funds, the risk is amplified infinitely.

Therefore, it is still recommended to focus on official wallet products, as these tend to have more standardized private key management and interaction logic, at least allowing you to keep control of the initiative.

Got caught in a pit again, huh? I’ve been saying for a long time not to chase those few seconds of speed, but you ended up risking your entire savings. Private keys are not something you should share casually. Basically, you're giving your wallet keys to strangers—what kind of logic is that? You still need to use official channels; otherwise, you'll regret it sooner or later.

The classic "Trade convenience for security" script, someone always falls into the trap every time, it's just unlearnable.

I saw this news again early in the morning. After the GMGN account theft incident, the liquidity gap has indeed widened... The design where these bots directly steal private keys is really outrageous, and slippage losses have become a minor issue in comparison.

Handing over the private keys and still expecting to make quick money—this is outrageous. After auditing the code of these bots, permission controls are virtually useless, and a single reentrancy vulnerability could drain you completely.

Bro, this really can't be fixed in just a few seconds, and asset security is at risk. It's not worth it. Once you give away your private key, it's like handing over the keys to your house. Still craving that convenience? Just thinking about it gives me chills. It's better to honestly use the official wallet, at least you don't have to be on edge every day. This wave of account hacking really sounded the alarm for me. But to be honest, manual interactions are indeed troublesome, but the risk... isn't worth it. Official wallets may be slower, but at least you can sleep peacefully. For large transactions, this is the way to go.

Oh no, it should have been clear about this earlier. Is a few seconds of delay really worth risking the entire bag? --- Handing over the private key means it's over. This time, I lost a lot. How many people got scammed? --- Honestly, it's better to just use the official wallet honestly. Even if it's slower, at least the money is in your own hands. --- I was a bit scared after the GMGN incident. Luckily, I didn't connect the main wallet. I've learned my lesson this time. --- No wonder so many people have been hacked recently. Rushing actually just gives money to hackers. --- I really think tools that ask for private keys should be used with caution. No matter how good they are, it's not worth it. Losing money is the real problem.
