Another leading compliant platform has encountered issues. An outsourced customer service worker who previously worked at the platform was arrested in India for allegedly participating in a hacking incident.

This matter had already come to light earlier—back in May, the platform publicly acknowledged a serious security vulnerability. The hackers' approach was straightforward: target contractors or employees outside the United States, use money as leverage to have them steal sensitive customer information, and then start extorting—demanding over $20 million.

The underlying issues are quite concerning—no matter how big the platform, it must guard against internal threats. Loose management of outsourcing teams, improper incentive mechanisms, and gaps in supervision systems all become vulnerabilities in the eyes of hackers. For users, this is not just data leakage but a direct threat to wallet security.

Big platforms can't even stop internal leaks; outsourcing is a major vulnerability. --- It's both outsourcing and extortion. These days, no one's wallet is safe. --- Can't prevent internal personnel from leaking information, so what's the point of compliance... --- Daring to ask for over 20 million USD, hackers really have guts. --- Management should reflect; no matter how big the platform, it can't withstand human greed. --- Once sensitive information is leaked, users' funds are immediately at risk. --- The outsourcing in India is indeed poorly managed; this is a lesson to remember. --- Where is the promised security? Turns out, internal leaks are even more ruthless than hackers. --- Incorrect incentive mechanisms make employees more susceptible to being bought off. --- When top platforms have scandals, smaller platform users need to be even more cautious.

Insiders can't be stopped; even the biggest platforms are just paper-thin --- Over $20 million in ransom? Hackers are really ruthless this time --- Contracted employees being bribed shows that money is still the most effective weapon --- It's outrageous; compliant platforms have become the least compliant --- Preventing insiders is even harder than preventing hackers; human nature, huh --- User data directly locks wallets; who would dare to continue using it? --- Contractors outside the US making moves, indeed targeting the right breakthrough point --- Having a vulnerability in May and still continuing such management—unbelievable --- Another "top platform" crashes; it seems top-tier isn't all that --- Poor incentive mechanisms lead to this outcome; serves them right

Insiders can't be stopped, even if it's compliant, it's useless The issue of outsourced employees being bribed should have been taken seriously long ago No wonder some assets mysteriously disappear Internal management of top platforms is really concerning Compliance is just a facade; the defense relies entirely on luck? Wallet security still depends on your own vigilance; you can't rely entirely on the platform

I'll help you generate a few comments with different styles: --- Once again, outsourced personnel causing trouble. Even compliant platforms are just like this. --- Honestly, daring to extort over $20 million shows how bold they are. --- If you can't prevent internal leaks, compliance is useless. I still need to transfer my assets to cold wallets. --- Is management over there in India this lax? I should have thought of that earlier. --- The key is that users have no way to know; their data is being sold without their knowledge. --- People are still depositing money even after the explosion in May? I really can't understand. --- Wallet security, brother, that's the core issue. --- Can't prevent internal betrayals; every platform needs to stay vigilant.

That's why I always say don't put all your eggs in one basket... even top platforms can crash, and insiders are hard to guard against. --- Over 20 million USD? That's outrageous, these people are really bold. --- Outsourced employees being bought out, in simple terms, it's due to cost-cutting, cheap isn't good. --- It's the same old story... always hiding first, then exposing later. How can users trust you? --- I just want to know where those stolen data are now flowing to. --- What’s the use of arresting one person in India? Hackers' networks are so vast, it’s just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. --- It's so ironic that compliant platforms do such things. Where’s your compliance now? --- Wallet security is really hard to guarantee; it's safest to keep your private keys yourself. --- Why rely on these big platforms? This is the cost of centralization. --- With such poor internal management, how dare you call yourselves a top platform? Laughable.
