A major gaming publisher just experienced one of the industry's most significant security incidents. Attackers exploited a vulnerability by flooding the platform with in-game currency worth billions—a classic misdirection tactic. While users were distracted by the influx of digital assets, the real damage occurred behind the scenes: hackers successfully exfiltrated source code repositories spanning nearly the entire game catalog. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how sophisticated social engineering can mask deeper infrastructure breaches. For crypto and blockchain communities, it underscores critical lessons about security protocols, asset verification, and the real costs of inadequate threat detection systems.

Damn, is this the same old fake and real game again? Gold coin bait covering up the source code being drained—classic move.

Damn, the source code has all been leaked? Game companies' security defenses are really useless.

This game developer is really outrageous. They took away the source code and are still playing the free coin giveaway game.
Pretending not to hear, this social engineering tactic is indeed perfect.
Where are the promised security protocols? They look as fragile as paper.
Web3 should have learned its lesson long ago. Yet, they are still making such basic mistakes.
This time, the crash is inevitable. Hundreds of millions in assets are just a facade.

Oh no, it's the same trick again, a feint to steal the source code.
