Hacker activities clearly increase at the end of the year, with frequent account theft incidents. Many users report abnormal login attempts on their accounts. Is this wave of attacks hackers focusing on boosting their performance? As the year-end trading season approaches, it also becomes a peak period for illegal activities. Security measures must be prioritized; do not skimp on basic operations like complex passwords, two-factor authentication, and cold wallet storage.

Here it comes again, the year-end must-see show, right? Every year around this time, I get "harvested" again. Getting the basic operations right is really key. My friend was attacked just because he was too lazy to enable two-factor authentication, and he's still crying about it. Hackers focus on performance targets haha, this explanation is perfect. Turns out they also have KPIs. Cold wallets really shouldn't be skimped on, small wallets bring big trouble. Passwords shouldn't be too simple, really. They look easy but many people fall into traps. During this season, you must tighten your defenses, or else you'll be the one losing money in your wallet. Two-factor authentication must be enabled. Just develop the habit.

Is it that again? I'm just puzzled, why do we have to go through a wave of hacking every year at the end of the year? Do these guys really have their eyes on the year-end bonuses? I've been using cold wallets for a long time, but I still have a bunch of friends who use exchange wallets every day. I'm really tired of it. Two-factor authentication really isn't a hassle. I have a friend who lost a significant amount because of this, and now he regrets it every time he sees someone. I'm quite particular about password setup, but honestly, the security of many exchange accounts is really just so-so. It's true that trading volume is high at the end of the year, but I don't think hackers are all acting like they're just trying to "boost performance"...

Is this the same trick again? Still getting caught at the end of the year. Cold wallets have been set up for a long time. --- Two-factor authentication? Nice words, but I think most people are still too lazy. --- Hackers boosting performance haha, I think we are more aggressive in spending at the end of the year. --- Quite a few people have had their accounts locked in these past few months. Hurry up and transfer your assets out. --- What’s the use of a complex password? The key is not to click on those phishing links. --- The end of the year is indeed dangerous, but honestly, how many people would really set up a cold wallet? --- My account was tried for login three times, I was so scared I changed my password immediately. --- Protection needs to be tightened, or next year you'll be crying. --- To be honest, most people are still too relaxed. --- Cold wallets are really necessary; it's not a joke.

My goodness, here we go again? End of the year is definitely the time to be exploited for profits Storing assets in a cold wallet is more secure, otherwise you can't sleep well Hackers are also aiming to hit KPIs, haha Two-factor authentication really isn't a hassle, it's just a second Guys who set passwords randomly should wake up Who still dares to use simple passwords at this time... suicidal operation It's that time of year again, and there's no way to guard against everything The essence of humans is to make money, and the essence of hackers is also that Storing in a cold wallet is the right choice, everything else is just virtual
