Bot Wallets Drained? Who Stole Your Binance Life?

The Binance market continues to be red-hot: "Binance Life," "Customer Service Xiao He," "XX's People"... Chinese tickers are popping up one after another, even FOMOing EN CTinto the market, shifting the narrative power to "Chinese Power."

As some popular bots previously didn't support BNB Chain, many players, seeking the same extreme trench experience as on Solana, turned to various new third-party Bots. OneKey reminds all pvp players not to blindly use Bots when FOMO takes over, as some insecure operations could lead to total loss.

A few days ago, Debot founder @0xCat_Crypto received reports from users whose bot wallets were drained of hundreds of thousands of USD. It was eventually discovered that the user was at fault, not the bot itself—the user's Telegram account was hacked, leading to the complete draining of their TG-linked wallet.

Telegram: The Overlooked First Line of Defense

Telegram account security is an age-old issue. We've previously written "The Ultimate Telegram Anti-Theft Guide," summarizing the three most common attack methods—which people still fall for today.

The most common scams include:

• Social Engineering for Login Codes: Scammers impersonate friends, exchanges, administrators, or official customer service to trick users into screenshotting or forwarding login verification codes, thereby directly logging into your account and draining your wallet. Remember, no one needs your login code except you.
• Fake Software and Localization Packs: Many so-called "Telegram Chinese versions" or "secure versions" are actually malicious Trojans. Almost any website requiring a "language pack download and installation" is a phishing trap.
• Fake SafeGuard Verification: Hackers impersonate group verification pages, asking you to scan a QR code to log in or enter your phone number. Once submitted, you've essentially handed over your login permissions. Real group verification will only ask you to click "I'm not a robot" or enter a CAPTCHA.

To significantly enhance account security, just follow these three steps:

• Hide your phone number.
• Enable two-step verification.
• Disable direct messages and group invitations from strangers.

After completing these three steps, your TG security will surpass the vast majority of crypto players.

Bot Wallets: The Boundary Between Convenience and Risk

The convenience of Bots is evident: front-running, limit orders, automatic take-profit, monitoring new coin listings...

But at the same time, it means you're entrusting your private keys to a third party.

As revealed by last year's large-scale Dexx Bot hack, the biggest security risk for wallets lies in custodial private keys. "Not your keys, not your money" is not just a slogan; it's a bloody reality.

Even if you absolutely must use them, remember:

• Do not keep large amounts of funds in Bot wallets.
• Promptly transfer earned money back to your main wallet or cold wallet.
• Never use the Telegram account linked to your main crypto holdings.

Your Asset Defense Line: Six Considerations for On-Chain Players

Beyond TG account and Bot wallet security, we need to establish a more comprehensive asset security system.

Here are the basic defense lines every on-chain player should check 👇

• Private Keys: Private keys are the ultimate control over your assets. Once leaked, assets are irrecoverable. Never screenshot, upload, or copy them to the cloud. Use a hardware wallet for offline generation and storage.
• Wallets: Custodial wallets are most convenient but least secure; hot wallets are prone to Trojans; cold wallets are safest offline. It's recommended to use a multi-tiered approach: hot wallets for active trading, cold wallets for holding.
• Devices and Transactions: Device poisoning, phishing authorizations, and fake contracts often trigger a chain reaction. Keep your trading devices clean, separate apps; only operate on official DEXs; don't click suspicious links, don't sign randomly, and don't be greedy for airdrops.
• Investment and Phishing: While Meme coin markets are hot, scams are even hotter. DYOR, diversify your positions, beware of high-yield bait; only trust official information channels, and if you notice anything unusual, immediately transfer your assets.

End

Bots make transactions faster, but no "fast" can outrun a hacker's transfer speed. TG brings communities closer, but it also brings scammers closer. True security never relies on a single app or tool, but on your willingness to take an extra step to confirm. Whether you've earned $10,000 or a $100 million, please remember:
