Event Overview
Recently, a vulnerability worth $240,000 occurred in Thunder Terminal (hereinafter referred to as TT), which directly affected the security of 114 wallets. This incident caused widespread concern and discussion in the digital asset community.
The outbreak of the vulnerability caused a fierce dispute between the TT team and the hackers. Hackers successfully breached the system and obtained a large amount of user data, including personal data and digital assets. Subsequently, the hacker made a ransom demand to the TT team and threatened to make sensitive data public. This situation has aroused concern in the industry and forced the TT team to take quick action to protect user interests to the greatest extent.
Team response and controversy
Faced with the hacker's blackmail demands, the TT team quickly launched response operations. They have publicly stated that they will not give in to blackmail, while working with the digital asset community and law enforcement agencies to track down the identity of the hackers. This dispute is not only a challenge to a project, but also a major test of the security of the entire blockchain.
The ransom payment debate
One point of contention is whether a ransom should be paid in exchange for the release of stolen data. The TT team insists that paying the ransom does not guarantee that hackers will not misuse user data, and that this behavior may cause more similar incidents. However, there are also those who advocate paying the ransom to best protect the interests of the victim and avoid further damage.
How to quickly protect your wallet in the event of an exploit
For users using TT, here are some suggestions to help them quickly protect their wallets in the event of an exploit:
Change your password immediately: Even if you are not directly affected, changing your password promptly is an effective means of protection.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of authentication to improve account security.
Monitor transaction records: Regularly check the transaction records of your wallet to detect any abnormal activity in a timely manner.
