Recently, wallets have been repeatedly compromised, and hackers have been especially active during the holiday season. Fortunately, these were all small-scale addresses, so the losses were relatively manageable. Thanks to someone helping me organize all the addresses, I discovered that the ETH in old addresses was also affected — the整理工作 at critical moments saved a life.

This lesson is profound: never continue to operate on a Windows computer for on-chain interactions. The system security vulnerabilities are too risky, and hackers can easily obtain private keys by exploiting this. If all the ETH in those old addresses are stolen, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, the issue was discovered in time and measures were taken.

Advice to everyone: regularly check key addresses, immediately migrate to a more secure system environment. Address consolidation is not only for convenience but also the first step in risk prevention.
