Want to break down some real situations where wallets get compromised? Figured it's worth sharing since most people don't fully grasp where the actual dangers hide.

First up: centralized private-key exposure in DEX Bot tools. Here's the thing—a lot of these automated trading bots on decentralized exchanges ask you to upload your private keys directly to their servers. Yeah, you read that right. This is basically handing someone the master key to your entire crypto kingdom. Even if the platform seems legit today, servers get hacked, employees get compromised, or the whole operation just vanishes. Your keys sitting on someone else's infrastructure? That's risk level 🚨.

I've already said it, who the hell still uploads private keys to those DEX bots, just send money directly.

Uploading private keys to the server? Isn't that suicide, brother? I really can't understand why anyone would do that.

This DEX robot setup is really outrageous. Just toss your private key onto someone else's server and wait to be wiped out? I wouldn't do that. --- Oh my god, how can anyone believe this kind of thing? Upload your private key? Are you brainless? --- Honestly, this is a suicidal move. No wonder so many people get caught. --- Wait, are there really people using this kind of robot? I thought it was all scams. --- Uploading your private key basically marks the start of bankruptcy. There's nothing more to say. --- So it means you can't trust anything centralized, right? It's a common saying. --- This is true DYOR (Do Your Own Research). A bunch of people just don't think this through. --- No wonder my friend's coins disappeared suddenly. Turns out they did it this way. --- By the way, who would be so stupid as to upload their private key... Oh wait, some are just scammed. --- Risk level is off the charts, and you're still using it? You're asking for trouble.

Fuck, uploading the private key directly? Isn't that suicidal... --- Someone really dares to do that, that's incredible. --- The DEX robot system should have been exposed long ago, what kind of stuff are they using? --- That's why I never touch things that require private keys, no matter how much money I could make. --- This is why I say CEXs are annoying, but at least you don't have to hand over your lifeline. --- If the server gets hacked, it's game over. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

Ha, I knew it. These DEX bots are just scams. No one really does this, right? Uploading private keys to a server? Are you joking with me? Another sign of a rug pull. It’s only a matter of time before something happens.

Oh my god, this operation is really genius—uploadting private keys directly to the server? Isn't that basically suicide, brother? --- If a DEX bot dares to ask for private keys, I dare to block it. Who the hell is this stupid? --- It's the same old trick again. How many people have paid tuition fees to understand this? --- Uploading private keys to someone else's server? These people really have no brains, haha. --- Honestly, 99% of people get caught like this, greed is the culprit. --- This is just inviting trouble. No wonder the wallet got exposed. --- I just want to know how many people are still using this trash bot. --- Wait, did you really hand over your private keys? I'm shocked. --- Such high risk, and people still play? It's a tax on IQ.

Oh my goodness, uploading private keys to the server? Isn't that suicide... --- I would directly block any DEX bot asking for private keys. Who trusts them is a fool. --- That's why I only use hardware wallets. No matter how convenient, it's not worth it. --- Really, too many people get hacked because of this... can't make money and end up being robbed. --- So those bot users earning millions per month... do they really have guts or are they just fools? --- No, why do some people still trust these platforms... --- I'm truly shocked that they still make these basic mistakes. --- If this is considered a DEX, I just laugh. --- Uploading private keys on-chain = sending coins. If you don't even understand this, you're not serious about trading.

Oh wow, this is truly a suicidal move... Just dump the private key on the server and wait to be harvested. If you ask me, these so-called "legitimate" robotic tools, nine and a half out of ten are scams. If I hadn't seen a few friends' wallets emptied with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe such outrageous operations exist in the world. If I had known this set of tricks from the start, maybe I wouldn't have been robbed so many times...
