Slowfog chief information security officer 23pds posted a tweet on social media, making it clear that public WiFi itself will not lead to the theft of cryptocurrency. It pointed out that the actual root cause of asset losses lies in two types of behaviors: one is phishing pages generated by forging WiFi hotspots, and the other is the user's actions to actively sign transactions or import private keys. The key risk points are the websites you visit after connecting to WiFi and the transactions you perform. Previously, X user Xiaoyu_184CM disclosed that after using free WiFi at Singapore airport, a small wallet that had not been traded for a long time suffered 3.7 BNB thefts. Binance founder CZ responded that the platform has repeatedly reminded users to avoid connecting to public WiFi, but stressed that connecting only WiFi will not directly lead to wallet theft, and questioned whether there were other operations during the period. AB KuaiDong, a well-known opinion leader in the field of encryption, speculated that the incident may involve someone setting up a free WiFi hotspot or maliciously modifying the router, which led to the disclosure of Xia's account information.
