The cryptocurrency market at the beginning of 2026 has staged a shocking reversal: $BROCCOLI714 suddenly surged, seemingly a sign of capital inflow on the surface, but in reality, it was a hacker stealing from the market maker account and then疯狂砸盘 (crazy dumping). This is not a main force washout, nor is it a good news realization; it’s just a mindless rally using stolen funds.



Ironically, someone managed to precisely bottom fish during this absurd market, earning $1.5 million, and immediately the朋友圈 (social circle) played out a "wealth creation myth." But for most people, such opportunities are as distant as a ghost story—seeing the surge and regretting not watching the market, struggling whether to chase or not, and finally watching the market plunge. Wealth opportunities in the crypto world have always been stories of others.

However, this incident warrants serious analysis. The idea of a market maker account being hacked sounds like a fairy tale, but it actually reflects a real issue: even large institutions have security vulnerabilities. The hacker’s success this time was fundamentally due to flaws in private key management. Many believe that accounts on major exchanges are "impregnable," but in reality, as long as the management process is improper, even the strongest defenses can be breached.

This warns us of three core issues: first, what are common vulnerabilities in security for market maker-level accounts; second, how should ordinary users assess the risk level of trading platforms; third, what adjustments should be made to trading strategies during periods of hacker activity. Risks in the crypto world never disappear; they just take different forms. Being able to identify them early is the first step toward stable trading.

Hackers can make 1.5 million, but retail investors can't even get a sip—that's the crypto world. --- Another big show. Wake up, everyone. Even major exchanges are not safe. --- A vulnerability in private key management? Then where can I safely store my assets? --- Seeing others make 1.5 million, I'm still debating whether to get in. Laugh out loud. --- If market maker accounts can be hacked, how can ordinary users protect themselves? Truly panic-inducing. --- It's always the same. Regret when prices go up, realize the truth when they go down. --- There's no safe place in the crypto world. It's time to accept this fact. --- Behind the wealth creation myths are countless people suffering huge losses. No one talks about this. --- When big institutions crash, how can retail investors survive? This logic is just perfect.

1.5 million USD? Earned through hacker vulnerabilities. Why the hell don't I have that luck? --- So even big institutions are not safe. This is really outrageous. --- It's someone else's story again. I'm always the last to know. --- Private key management loophole? Basically, it's a human error. --- It would have been great if I had known about this wave earlier, but even if I did, I couldn't catch up. --- If market makers get broken, they get broken. We retail investors need to be even more careful. --- The myth of wealth creation is played out every day. I just want to ask, who really made money? --- No matter how strong the defenses are, it's useless. Poor management can still lead to failure. --- I was still sleeping during the surge, and when I woke up, everything was over. --- During active hacking periods, trading strategies need to be adjusted. This matter must be taken seriously.

Hackers pump the market, someone made 1.5 million, what did I earn? Still losing... --- Another person's story, where is my money? --- The private key vulnerability is really terrifying. Major exchanges can be hacked, do I still dare to hold coins? --- Accurately bottomed out at 1.5 million, and I was precisely bottomed out... --- This wave of market movement is just black eating black; ordinary people caught in the middle can only get cut. --- Market maker accounts can't even be protected, how can I trust these platforms? --- I totally understand the feeling of watching a surge and hesitating whether to chase or not; the result is just to get off and go home. --- In the crypto world, opportunities are all fate's arrangement; we don't deserve them. --- Risk recognition? I don't even have time to watch the market... --- The wealth creation mythwriter must be the hacker himself, haha.

1.5 million USD, this is the true picture of the crypto world --- Hackers can make money too, why am I still losing --- Another person's story, it's hard to watch --- Private key vulnerabilities are so common? Then I need a cold wallet --- Rapid rises and falls, it's hackers playing with us --- Large institutions can't even defend against it, what should we small investors do --- Wait, how did they precisely buy the dip with 1.5 million USD? That takes a lot of luck --- Risks are right there, unavoidable --- So, there's no safe haven in the crypto world

Hackers can make 1.5 million, while I'm still waiting for a rebound at a low price. LOL
