The security situation of the Web3 ecosystem in 2025 is severe. According to the latest industry security report, more than 1,200 significant security incidents occurred throughout the year, resulting in total losses exceeding $3.5 billion.

Specifically, CeFi platforms have become the biggest victims—hot wallet mismanagement and administrator private key leaks are the main culprits. Once these vulnerabilities are exploited, the consequences are often devastating. Meanwhile, although the proportion of DeFi contract vulnerabilities has decreased, new threats are emerging. Deep logical flaws and various issues with Move contracts are frequently appearing, becoming new hidden dangers.

Another longstanding issue that still requires vigilance is private key theft, phishing attacks, and Rug Token schemes. These risks may seem scattered, but they threaten the security and stability of the entire ecosystem from different dimensions.

$3.5 billion is gone, and it's gone. Anyway, I've been rug pulled before, so I'm used to it. --- Is the hot wallet admin causing trouble again? These people really should learn the basics of cold wallets. --- Are there so many vulnerabilities in Move contracts now? No wonder I haven't dared to touch it. --- Over 1200 incidents... It feels like there's a new explosion of issues every day. When will this ecosystem stabilize? --- Still the same advice: keeping your private keys safe is more important than anything else. Don't trust anyone. --- CeFi has failed again; decentralization is the right way. --- Such rampant phishing attacks—are people still falling for them? Be cautious; can it really be deadly? --- The term "deep logical vulnerability" is tiring to hear. Basically, it means developers are not professional enough. --- $3.5 billion... It feels like my loss is just a drop in the ocean. --- Rug Token remains a nightmare; just look at the project team's face to know the outcome.

3.5 billion USD lost, I really can't hold on anymore... Are these CeFi people still using hot wallets? Wake up, everyone. --- Move contract issues keep happening, now a new pit has appeared. It feels like you can never be fully prepared. --- Old tricks like private key theft and phishing are still scamming users. People really need to be more cautious. --- Only 3.5 billion USD lost from 1,200 incidents? That data seems a bit conservative... The real black swan events probably aren't even counted. --- CeFi hot wallets are out of control. This is ridiculous. If you can't even handle basic operations, how dare you touch assets? --- DeFi contract vulnerabilities are fewer, but new pitfalls keep emerging. How can this cycle be broken? An endless arms race. --- Phishing attacks and other low-level tricks are still effective, indicating that most users are still beginners. --- Looking at these numbers, I can't help but think of the time I got scammed this year... So exhausting.

3.5 billion dollars lost—that's our Web3... Why are the CeFi folks still making the same basic mistakes? Phishing and private key theft are never outdated; it's truly a torment. The Move contract has caused trouble again—can't there be a project that you can trust? 1200 incidents? I'm quite curious how many of these are real security vulnerabilities and how many are just self-inflicted. Hot wallet out of control sounds nice, but it's really just the admin slacking off, right? How are contract audits done? It feels like every year there's a new trick. This ecosystem will only be truly clean when it’s genuinely pure—every year, the same reports. Why is CeFi always being targeted so fiercely? Centralized systems should face their deserved consequences. Private key leaks, to be honest, are a human problem... no matter how secure the code is, it’s useless. Hodl cold wallets are still reliable; no more messing around.
