About this video
You tapped "speed up" on a pending payment, and the money went to someone else. The signature was real; the recipient was wrong. From an old Electrum version (now fixed), to a hardware wallet whose chip was untouched while an implant read the recovery words off its screen, to an exchange where the attacker used valid authorizations (how they were obtained is still under investigation): what are you signing, who has seen the secret, and who can make it sign?
Narrated in Chinese with burned-in Chinese subtitles. The written version in English is linked below.
