I heard that recently a major social media platform was exposed to a security vulnerability—about 17.5 million users' information was leaked, including usernames, emails, phone numbers, and even specific addresses. This data is already circulating on the dark web and is being used for phishing scams and account hijacking. The root cause might be an API vulnerability in 2024, and now affected users are receiving frantic password reset reminder emails.

The official statement has not been released yet. But you should know, this kind of incident is especially dangerous for crypto users—hackers who get your email and phone number can attempt to take over exchange accounts and wallets, potentially transferring assets away in minutes. So it's time to act: quickly enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all important accounts, change your passwords, especially for accounts holding crypto assets. This is no small matter.
