🔥 Keep the streak going for 12 consecutive years of major CEX platforms being hacked….and especially later on, security keeps getting better, but the amount of money hacked and the number of times they’re hacked are actually increasing more and more—and it’s all the top exchanges :)))

Crypto is “just virtual money,” but you still have to use real money to buy it…so the moment it gets hacked, you’re completely thrown off. Security is still something that’s hard to predict in advance. No matter which exchange it is, this can happen.

Soon, a VN exchange will launch…what people are most worried about is also this issue.
