Reminder: there's also plenty of people who have lost huge amounts of crypto to *loss* rather than theft. Software bug, forgotten password, lost device, paper wallet burned down in LA fire, upgraded device without backing up data .... lots of ways for that to happen. Because there's no attacker to go after, victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves, victims will be too ashamed to talk about it. But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too. (This is a big part of why I talk about social recovery so much!)

The real problem is, ordinary people do not really care about any of it. They just want to make money. Even bigger problem is, people who cared used Multi Sig solution, believing it is a better security measure. And it got hacked. The biggest problem is though, the CEX that got hacked, has ALSO credit for the hacking, but they just release a report saying "it was all SAFE's fault, not us (without double checking the address)". Plus, the CEO laughs in the interview with a Youtuber, literally saying "We did great job! I slept 1 hour on the day!!" without taking the responsibility.
