#Trust Wallet安全事件 Seeing this Ubisoft incident, my first reaction was to think of Mt.Gox in 2014. Back then, we also experienced a similar sense of helplessness—platforms being attacked, large amounts of assets disappearing out of thin air, official promises to rollback data, but in the end? It took years to recover only part of it.



This time, hackers indiscriminately dumped 2 billion R6 tokens to players. On the surface, it looks like a "whale hunting" frenzy, but fundamentally, it signifies a complete collapse of system trust. The $13.3 million worth of assets instantly vanished into thin air. Ubisoft’s response is not just about technical rollback but about rebuilding that broken chain of trust. The key question is—can they fully rollback?

I’ve seen too many cases in this space where "promised rollback" ultimately turns into "partial recovery." Every time, there are victims, and every time, people lose everything. What’s different this time is that it involves a centralized gaming platform rather than a decentralized exchange. Ubisoft’s technical capabilities and user compensation ability are much stronger, but this highlights a deeper issue— even large publicly traded companies still have fragile security defenses.

If even such leading companies can be breached this way, the situation for small and medium platforms is even more dire. That’s also why we insisted on self-custody of private keys and offline cold storage back in the day. It’s not about distrusting platforms, but history repeatedly teaches us: the only thing you can truly trust is yourself.
