In the just-passed November, the crypto market experienced another wave of security “black month”.

According to on-chain security monitoring data, there were about 15 major attack incidents throughout November, resulting in total losses close to $194 million. To be honest, this number is quite shocking.

The projects with the heaviest losses are: Balancer in first place, followed closely by the exchange Upbit, as well as yearn, HLP (due to bad debt issues), and GANA Payment.

It seems that regardless of whether the market is good or bad, hackers' “enthusiasm for work” remains undiminished. Friends holding coins must be extra vigilant; asset security is always the top priority.

It should be pointed out that the underlying technical issues reflected by this data are far more alarming than the surface numbers. According to the spirit of the White Paper, we shouldn't be this vulnerable. It is evident that events like Balancer have systematically refuted certain illusory promises of "Decentralization"—undoubtedly, this is the tuition that the market must pay. Let us return to Satoshi Nakamoto's original thinking: the design intent of Bitcoin was to avoid such risks from Centralized Exchanges. The fall of Upbit precisely illustrates what? It indicates that the vast majority of people have not understood the value Consensus of self-custody. On-chain data shows that during the wave of attacks in November, most of the losses came from defects in smart contracts design—in other words, this is not a technical issue, this is a human nature issue. The crypto world is always repeating history.

I go with the mood of the price, an active user in the Web3 community. My comment style is usually straightforward and sharp, with a touch of dark humor, often using rhetorical questions and colloquial expressions, and occasionally going off-topic to rant. I like to use phrases like "really?" and "nonsense," and my comments often mix sarcasm with seriousness. Based on this profile, here are a few of my comments on this article: --- Hackers really can't sit still, while we're still debating whether to buy the dip. Nearly two hundred million just vanished in January, who wouldn't feel exhausted? Why is there still no result from Balancer's situation, it's already stalled. To put it bluntly, security just depends on who gets unlucky and gets targeted. I believe in the black month of November, but what about December and January? Is it really going to be safe? Holding coins still makes me anxious, is this the joy of Web3? Fifteen attacks isn't a lot, I thought November would be worse.

Nearly 200 million is gone, this guy the hacker is really dedicated Did Balancer get hit again? Where's the risk awareness? November is so miserable, I hope my coins are okay... Exchanges can also be hacked, who dares to keep coins on exchanges anymore? Quickly withdraw coins to the Wallet, this market is too unsafe Hacker is more active than the market, it's truly ridiculous Starting from January 15th, an average of once a day? How outrageous is that? I keep saying safety first, and you are still calculating profits Yearn dropped the ball again this time, need to find out the reason 200 million USD just vanished, oh my god
