To save a few bucks someone decided to buy a hardware wallet from a questionable non-official source.
I guess that didn't turn out to be such a great idea.

They trusted a sealed wallet from TikTok, and it cost them $6.9M


Do you know someone who is super cheap even when they may be well-off?




Frugal living is great to save money but being cheap on something that determines whether they gonna lose their millions of money or not seems plain dumb to me.

If i have 6.9 million dollar, I'd be willing to pay $100k to make sure it's safe and not getting hacked. Can't be cheap on something like this otherwise you gonna lose it all.

Once again it's reminder to buy from hardware maker directly when it come to something like this, even if the shipping fee costs a ton.
