#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 a friend in the circle whose WeChat has been hacked, and now all the content in her circle of friends is not posted by herself, and you must remind her when you see similar sharing.
It is obviously no coincidence that such incidents have occurred frequently recently. There may be organized targeted behavior behind this, and you may also be on the list of high-risk users. So don't be careless, it's time to adjust the account security level to the highest level now.
Why is it so easy to attack? Mainly the early design idea of WeChat: the old version allows you to log in purely with your mobile phone number and verification code. If you don't take the initiative to strengthen the protection (such as setting an independent password, binding an email, opening the device lock, etc.), hackers can theoretically log in and take over your entire social network and information by intercepting a mobile phone verification code. This is a catastrophic vulnerability.
Let's take a look at several security gears on WeChat:
Low level (most dangerous): The mobile phone verification code can be logged in directly without any other checks Intermediate level: You also have to enter the password High level: Device verification, payment password confirmation, and friend assistance verification are required The highest level: face recognition and ID card verification
Check yourself now - use an unfamiliar device (a new phone or an old phone that has been cleared of data) and try to log in to your own WeChat using the "mobile phone number + verification code". If you go in directly and there is no additional verification at all, then your account is in a state of streaking and is at a deadly low security level.
Emergency self-help checklist:
✓ Set a separate login password immediately (the key is not to bind it to an SMS verification code) ✓ Bind a professional email address as a secure backup ✓ Turn on the device lock function to include your frequently used devices in the mandatory verification range ✓ Dig up the list of logged-in devices and kick out unfamiliar devices you don't know
In the world of crypto assets like $BTC and $ETH, your social accounts are your face and the lifeblood of reputation and communication. Once the account is lost, not only will privacy be stripped away, but the consequences of asset risk and network collapse will follow. Instead of remediating it afterwards, it is better to build a solid line of defense now.

Laughing and then suddenly crying, in that moment when your social media account gets hacked, you truly understand what "running naked" means... Quickly check your account security level, brother.

honestly reminds me of UST collapse—except this time it's your social layer getting liquidated. one intercepted sms and you're basically insolvent credibility-wise, statistically speaking.
