Why were 30,000 devices hacked, 7,000 wallets stolen—and it’s all still in the crypto world?
The otter-plum malware attack hit 300,000 devices, stealing 7,000 crypto wallets, all from crypto users.
This “WaterPlum” dark-horse program directly infected 30,000 computers. The key point is that it stole the money from 7,000 wallets. Reports claim it was done by national-level hackers, which shows that stealing crypto is becoming more professional. They didn’t say the exact amount, but it’s definitely not small. In any case, it means your computer gets hacked and your wallet is instantly drained—just like having your bank account stolen.
Impact on the market
- Short term: People will know wallets are not secure, which will affect sentiment, especially among large holders. Funds may move to cold wallets.
- Medium term: It will force projects to build safer wallets, but in the short run, the whole crypto industry’s security reputation gets blacklisted again. Regulators may pay even more attention.
My take
Bearish in the short term, especially for users with large wallet balances. Even though Bitcoin and Ethereum may hold up in the short term, this serves as a reminder to everyone: wallet security comes first—don’t assume big projects are absolutely safe. I’d suggest diversifying wallets and not putting all your eggs in one basket. If I’m wrong, go easy on me—I’ll only test with a small position myself.
- Coins: BTC / ETH
- Direction: Bearish 📉 Predict a drop
- Duration: BTC 12 hours / ETH 24 hours
$BTC $ETH #BTC #ETH
📊 Historical backtest
- After a similar report like “Chen’s alleged $1.4B crypto scam wallet or transfer of $200M in Bitcoin” (2025-10-22), BTC’s 12h price change was +1.52%. My prior prediction was bearish ❌ incorrect
