The on-chain transaction bot Debot has experienced a serious security incident. Last Sunday evening, researcher 0xAA issued a warning—many on-chain user wallets were hacked, with the attack pointing to an intrusion into the Debot system. SlowMist founder Yu Xian subsequently confirmed that the private keys of wallets marked as risky had been leaked, and the hackers have currently gained a total profit of $255,000.



This is already the second major wallet security incident in recent times. Previously, a browser wallet extension from a leading exchange was found to have a vulnerability, resulting in losses exceeding $6 million for users worldwide.

Tracing the source, Debot’s Japanese data center was discovered to have been compromised as early as December 10. The official response at the time was to urgently transfer user assets from the Japanese node to a Singapore data center for isolation. However, it is clear that this transfer did not fully resolve the issue—the private key information stored in addresses marked as risky was ultimately leaked.

Debot’s official team has issued an emergency alert: users should immediately go to the asset management page and use the transfer function to move their balances to the official designated secure wallet address. This is currently the most direct way to self-rescue. In a time of frequent security incidents, checking your wallet status has become an essential lesson for every on-chain user.

Another big blunder, Debot's operation is really impressive Private keys can be leaked, transferring from Japan to Singapore is the same as not transferring at all Quickly check your wallet, don't wait to be exploited Still dare to use robot trading platforms? I just abandoned it $255,000 was hacked, this is the real impermanence loss

Oh no, they're back again? So annoying, these project teams just know how to pass the buck. Wait, the Japanese data center was hacked in December, and it's only coming out now? The information gap is just too big. $255,000 in hacker fees... How many people got cut? I need to check my wallet quickly. That's why I still trust established exchanges more. Once private keys are leaked, it's game over. Projects without a B plan are doomed.

Something happened again, this time with Debot? Daily security incidents, how come people still dare to play on the chain? --- $255,000 lost, Japanese data center defense is as weak as paper. --- Leakage of private keys, saying it can be transferred at will, why didn't you do it earlier? --- I just want to know when I can sleep peacefully. --- How many projects have failed this month? Can't even keep track. --- Hurry up and check your wallet, don’t wait until you don’t even know how you lost it. --- Every time they say "officially designated secure address," I become more worried about this set. --- The data center was hacked and they hid it for so long? Truly incredible.

Is it happening again and again? How many incidents is this this year... Private key leaks are really outrageous. I just want to know how Debot explains this mess.

Here we go again? Debot really messed up this time. --- The Japanese data center was breached in December and it’s still not disclosed. The response speed is incredible. --- $255,000 lost, almost half of the $600,000 from the exchange, but I really can't take it anymore. --- Private key leak and transferring out from the data center— is this a transfer issue or a transfer blame? --- Now on-chain wallets are like dice, I’m really starting to doubt my way of safeguarding assets. --- Emergency transfers for self-rescue have become a daily routine for Web3 users. --- In December it was hacked, and the official announcement only came now. This information asymmetry is really slick. --- I’m done. Should I just withdraw all my coins to a cold wallet?
