Unlonely Co-Founder Loses $40,000 Due To GitHub Error

According to Odaily, Brian Guan, the co-founder of Web3 streaming application Unlonely, has reported a significant loss due to an error on GitHub. Guan mistakenly made public a repository containing his wallet's private keys. As a result, his wallet was emptied within just two minutes, leading to a loss of $40,000. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining strict security measures when dealing with digital assets. The rapidity with which the funds were stolen highlights the potential risks associated with the mishandling of private keys, particularly in public forums such as GitHub. Guan's unfortunate experience underscores the need for increased vigilance and enhanced security protocols in the handling of digital assets. It also raises questions about the safety measures in place on platforms like GitHub and the potential for such platforms to be misused for illicit activities.
