In a matter of moments at Jinnah International Airport, a man’s years of savings — $850,000 in cryptocurrency — vanished. All it took was a stolen phone. Wallets, private keys, access — gone in the blink of an eye.
This incident is being called one of Pakistan’s largest digital thefts, and it highlights a chilling truth: blockchain itself is secure, but human error remains the weakest link. No matter how advanced your crypto is, one unlocked screen or moment of distraction can erase a lifetime of effort.
Security experts emphasize the essentials: hardware wallets for offline storage, two-factor authentication on every account, and never keeping keys on a single device. Awareness and vigilance are no longer optional — they’re mandatory.
This is more than a story of theft; it’s a warning. Every crypto holder should take it seriously, because the next headline could be anyone’s loss. One second, one mistake, and everything disappears. Protect your digital life before it’s too late.","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/25/eaec881346a51c3f34ae3c631b3c28c4.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
