AI-powered DeFi wallet DeBot experienced a security nightmare on December 28th. Hackers exploited a private key leak to break in directly, stealing $255,000 worth of user assets in one go. The official response was relatively quick, immediately issuing a notice for users to transfer their funds to secure addresses, and promising full compensation. However, the problem is that the hackers have already mixed the stolen assets together, and the risk continues to spread.

The community's awareness of security is good; they are warning others not to fall for fake claim forms. Interestingly, this incident is similar to the previous Trust Wallet Chrome extension hack—both involved private key exposure and required urgent responses.

This lesson is quite painful: the trust built over years in a DeFi project can be lost in an instant. Vulnerabilities in code, unstable architecture, insufficient emergency plans—any one of these issues can be fatal. What DeBot needs to do now is take real action—conduct thorough security audits, fulfill compensation promises, and release updates promptly. Otherwise, just talking about it won't help.

For users, it's still wise to be rational when choosing a wallet. Don't be dazzled by new features; established solutions with proven market track records and comprehensive security systems are indeed more reliable. In the crypto world, security always comes before features.
