🚨$200K GONE → Another Crypto Monkey Got Rekt By LastPass
Bruhhh… another degen just lost $200,000 worth of crypto because he stored his seed phrase on LastPass. 😭
Let’s break down this wild story and why you NEVER trust CeFi with your keys ↓
Picture this:
You’ve made it. You got that juicy bag sitting pretty in your wallet.
But instead of writing your seed down on paper like a proper banana-eating crypto monkey, you save it on LastPass.
Fast forward to 2022 LastPass gets hacked.
Big time.
Hackers breach the vault and steal sensitive data from users across the world.
They wait.
And just like clockwork, one by one, wallets start getting drained quietly.
♡ In total, $4.4M gone.
♡ 25 users wrecked.
♡ And now… one of them is suing.
The Lawsuit:
One user, staying anonymous (probably out of shame 😅), is now suing LastPass for not warning him about the hack.
His claim?
“If y’all told me earlier, I could’ve saved my funds.”
But here’s the spicy truth ↓
Even if LastPass had warned him instantly…
Seed phrase = static.
No reset. No do-over. No “forgot password” button.
The hackers already had it.
The wallet was doomed.
The best-case scenario?
He drains the wallet himself if he got lucky and acted in time.
The Real Lesson Here 🧠
Let’s be clear:
💀 NEVER store your seed phrase online
💀 NEVER trust centralized password managers
💀 NEVER forget that self-custody is only safe if you act like a savage about it
We’re in a jungle out here, and the only rule is survival.
You slack, you get sniped.
→ Conclusion:
This ain’t just another “oopsie.”
It’s a $200K tuition fee in the School of Hard Blocks.
So if you’re still keeping your seed phrase in Gmail, Evernote, or LastPass…
♡ STOP RIGHT NOW ♡
Write it down.
Lock it up.
Act like your whole portfolio depends on it because it does.
Stay safe, monkey fam.
The jungle doesn’t forgive.
