Wallet products are causing trouble again. The latest version update of the browser extension revealed security vulnerabilities, and the official confirmed that nearly 2,600 wallet addresses were affected. However, the situation is a bit complicated — although the confirmed victims number over 2,600, the subsequent claim applications have skyrocketed to 5,000.

A large number of duplicate and false claims are mixed in, which increases the difficulty of subsequent compensation verification work. On one side are genuine victims eager for compensation, and on the other side are the platform busy distinguishing which applications are legitimate and which are attempts to exploit the system. This kind of situation is quite common in security incident handling — user anxiety combined with information asymmetry often breeds opportunists.

Here we go again? 2600 to 5000, how much can you make up? --- Really? We’ll probably have to wait several months for approval again. --- A moment of frenzy for speculators, not a single compensation received. --- So, do we have to queue and wait for approval because we were truly scammed? Laughing to death. --- A typical chaos, no matter how the platform investigates, it’s never enough. --- Out of 5000 applications, an estimated 4000 are all made up. --- Why is everything like this now, hard to tell real from fake? --- Waiting for compensation? Just wash and sleep, everyone.

Coming again? These days, it's rare for a wallet not to have issues. 2600 to 5000, this ratio is outrageous. Everyone wants to get some compensation. Being caught in the middle as a true victim is really uncomfortable. The platform needs to investigate each case thoroughly. This is the cost of information asymmetry; some people are taking advantage of the chaos. There are too many people stirring up trouble, and in the end, the real victims won't get much.

5,000 claim applications from 2,600 victims, the math doesn't quite add up. I've seen this kind of thing too many times; genuine victims are overwhelmed by scammers. It's the same old trick, every time there's a security incident, there's a play about "who's the real victim." Speculators who muddy the waters really complicate things; how can the platform verify? It turns out that the real victims are actually being dragged down, how ironic. That's why I never trust wallet extensions; it's too much trouble. From 2,600 to 5,000, that's an incredible multiple.

It's the same trick again, turning 2600 into 5000. When will we ever see this happen? --- Estimated real victims probably won't get anything; they're all drowned out by the muddy waters. --- Laughing to death, this is the Web3 ecosystem. Problems occur faster than fixes. --- The platform must be exhausted, firefighting while trying to identify, might as well just compensate everyone directly. --- There used to be similar incidents before, why does it always turn out so disappointing? --- Claim requests double directly. If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to tell who's genuine and who's fake. --- No wonder everyone doesn't trust these wallets anymore; security incidents are as frequent as discounts at convenience stores.
