Recently, a shocking news has attracted widespread attention: an investor purchased a Cold Wallet through a short video platform, resulting in the instant theft of their 50 million yuan assets. This incident once again highlights the potential risks of online purchasing of Crypto Assets storage devices.



Experts point out that the "brand new and unopened" Cold Wallets claimed online are most likely counterfeit or tampered products. These devices may have backdoor programs implanted by criminals, and once used, users' digital assets will face a huge risk of theft.

For investors who intend to use a Cold Wallet, security experts strongly recommend purchasing through official channels. Specifically, products should be ordered directly from the official website of the Wallet manufacturer, and after receiving the device, it is essential to complete the initialization process in person. These steps form the basic security defense line for using a Cold Wallet.

In addition, industry insiders also remind users to remain vigilant even when purchasing devices from official channels, regularly checking the integrity of the devices and following the official security announcements. In terms of digital asset security, caution and knowledge are the best protection.

This incident has also sparked a broader discussion on the security of Crypto Assets storage. As the digital asset market continues to evolve, finding a balance between convenience and security has become a question that both users and the industry need to think deeply about.
