An old brother shared a painful experience: Last year, he suspected that his Private Key might have been leaked, and wanted to verify whether his Wallet Address had been hacked. As a result, in a moment of impulse, he transferred 500 Bitcoins to that Address to do a "test."



So what happened? The hacker was indeed waiting inside and turned around to steal 490.

This is outrageous. I originally wanted to confirm something, but instead, I ended up delivering a big gift to the hacker. It's like that joke says: seeing something on the road, thinking to myself, "Could this be poop?" I took a bite to confirm, "It really is poop," and then I was relieved that I "fortunately didn’t step in it."

This serves as a lesson for everyone: once the Private Key is leaked, don't try to use real money to verify. Once assets are transferred, hackers can immediately transfer them out, leaving no time for reaction. If you suspect that your Private Key has been leaked, the correct approach is to directly transfer your assets to a new Wallet, rather than risking large amounts of funds to test.

Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this guy is really actively spreading warmth. --- 500 Bitcoins for verification? Brother, this isn't testing, this is charity. --- I just want to know what this dude is feeling right now, "I'm helping hackers with Liquidity Mining." --- Every time I see stories like this, it feels like my brain is flooded; clearly jumping into a fire pit. --- So this is called "using practical action to verify that the Private Key has indeed leaked", a perfect self-proof. --- Really, if you want to confirm whether the Private Key has leaked, wouldn't it be better to check the transaction records? Why go and do "actively delivering to hackers"? --- 490 BTC in tuition, now that's a lesson learned. --- I bet five bucks this guy has deleted his Wallet now, pretending like nothing ever happened.

Hahaha, this guy is really something, verifying with 500 Bitcoins? Just sending warmth to the hacker directly. Buddy, this operation is like cutting your finger with a knife to see if it will bleed, pure self-destruction. The private key was leaked and still dared to transfer money in, isn't this walking into a trap? Hacker: Thanks, buddy, for the delivery. A lesson of 5.5 million dollars is not cheap, now you really believe it, right? It's just ridiculous. Next time, if you suspect the wallet is stolen, transfer everything out directly, don't think about testing this set.
