#以太坊大户持仓变化 "Just a tap..." My wife pressed a button, and over three million USD in her account disappeared in seconds. The husband didn't say a word all night.



"Bro, the wallet was emptied, over three million USDT, my wife just pressed a button."
At 3 a.m., A Zhuo sent a voice message, his voice trembling. I didn't sympathize with him first, but hurriedly asked, "Is the screenshot of the seed phrase still saved in WeChat?"
The silence on the other end of the call was more terrifying than anything—more despairing than an account liquidation.

【Seemingly absurd, but it really happened】
That day on a business trip, to save time, he sent a screenshot of the twelve seed phrases into the family group chat, and even recorded a video teaching his wife how to operate—copy, next step, that’s it. She followed, and in less than thirty seconds, the assets on the chain were transferred out, and the account balance became zero.

The police report was very gentle: "Family members operated independently, no case to be filed."—Translated, it means you can't recover this money.

【The real root of the problem is not "slip of the hand"】
Don’t rush to scold your family. Take a closer look, and you'll see the holes he left himself:

Three years ago, his Android phone was never flashed with a new system, the Wi-Fi password was as simple as the neighborhood name; the browser was full of various "free candy" plugins; WeChat was set to automatically sync original images to the cloud...

Hackers don’t need much effort; they can drain your on-chain assets in one go. Server logs are automatically deleted after seventy-two hours, leaving no trace.

【Three iron laws his over three million USD taught him】
First, seed phrases are like lifelines—write them down on titanium steel plates, stored separately in different fireproof safes. Never screenshot, never store in the cloud.

Second, your trading tools are your vault—use an old phone as a dedicated device, only install official wallet apps. Disconnect from the internet before operation, clear the clipboard after finishing.

Third, family members operating on your behalf must be supervised synchronously—must have a video call, compare each character of the recipient address, especially the last four digits, pause three seconds before final confirmation—this can prevent millions from disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Now, every night before sleep, A Zhuo will touch that titanium steel plate. He says it’s the "peace of mind" bought with over three million USD.

Don’t wait until your assets are almost blown up to think about how to save yourself—market still has rebound opportunities, but once a transfer on the chain is confirmed, it’s irreversible. Protecting your principal is far more important than stressing over a single rise or fall.
