When I first started in the crypto space and was chasing airdrops, I authorized my wallet on a phishing website, and as a result, I was directly robbed of hundreds of thousands. Later, although I revoked the authorization, I never wanted to abandon this old wallet. To be honest, sometimes there are hundreds of thousands sitting in the wallet, yet it has never been stolen again, which puzzles me—either hackers haven't discovered it, or they are waiting for me to truly achieve financial freedom before making a move. The most heartbreaking part is that I can never be sure if the private key of this wallet has been completely leaked; every time I check the account, I feel like there's a constant tension. This experience serves as a warning: phishing website authorization requests may seem harmless but are actually hidden risks.

Hackers might be watching you right now haha, waiting for you to actually make a move before they strike.

This wallet is like a time bomb; it's a miracle if your sleep quality is good.

This wallet is like a ticking time bomb, I truly understand that feeling of hanging in the balance... Every time I check the balance, it's like gambling. If hackers had really discovered it, they would have acted long ago, how could they wait until you get rich to cut in... Unless they never even noticed this address. My advice is to transfer quickly to a new wallet, stop gambling. The old private key definitely carries risks, it's not about being afraid for a moment but for a lifetime. Phishing authorization is indeed deadly; one careless move and you're permanently compromised. I now copy and paste URLs, never click on links. Still dare to keep hundreds of thousands in a problematic wallet? How strong is your heart... If it were me, I’d have a hard time sleeping. This is the norm in the circle; only those who have been scammed early on understand the rules. Fortunately, you're still alive; some people are permanently out after just one scam. Come on, if you can't feel at ease, just migrate. There's nothing to be sentimental about with wallets; life is more precious than money.

Bro, your mindset is really incredible. You still dare to keep hundreds of thousands in a wallet that might have been hacked. I'm truly impressed.

Oh my, how strong must this mentality be? Several hundred thousand just hanging in the balance? I would have run away long ago. This is Schrödinger's wallet—hackers come and go, or maybe they don't come at all. Canceling authorization is basically useless. If the private key really leaks, it's all over. You're just hoping for the best. Phishing is indeed hard to prevent; one click and it's gone. Really, I now have to read signatures three times, afraid of falling into another trap. This round has truly been the most expensive lesson fee, for sure. If hackers really mark your account, they might just wait for a large transfer from you—that's the most terrifying part. In the early days, you should have used a small wallet for airdrops. Now, it's too late to regret.

The data shows this wallet should have exploded long ago. Just wait and see; it will eventually collapse.
