What finally made you take wallet security seriously?

Question

For me it wasn’t FTX.

It was watching someone experienced lose six figures because they approved the wrong contract while using a hardware wallet.

That completely changed how I think about “being secure” in crypto.

Before that I thought:

  • hardware wallet = safe
  • seed phrase offline = done

Now I’m realizing most losses happen during interaction, not storage.

Curious what event changed your mindset permanently.
