#钱包安全事件 The 2022 case in Russia has now reached a verdict. Here's a summary of the key information: Traffic police illegally obtained phone access and used violent methods to extract evidence, stealing approximately 20 million rubles worth of BTC, and was ultimately sentenced to 7 years in prison.



From an on-chain security perspective, there are several points worth noting in this case. First, the trigger for fund outflow was the wallet private key or seed phrase being obtained through coercion, indicating that physical threats remain the highest risk factor for personal wallets. Second, the case took over two years to reach a verdict, which means that tracking and tracing after on-chain transfers still pose challenges, but ultimately multiple pieces of evidence led to identifying the perpetrator.

Insights for holders: Wallet security is not just about defending against technical hacking attacks; personal safety and information privacy are equally critical. Do not disclose wallet information in scenarios where your identity could be exposed or you could be coerced. Such risks are often harder to recover from than losses caused by market volatility. Basic defensive measures like cold storage offline, multi-signature schemes, and asset diversification are still necessary.

This type of case, shifting from exchange thefts to crimes targeting individual holders, warrants vigilance.
