Golden Finance reports that ALEX, a DeFi protocol based on Stacks, released an important message on the X platform, announcing that the ALEX Lab Foundation will use the Treasury funds to fully compensate for the losses of users who were previously affected by hacker attacks. At present, the highly anticipated TGP compensation claim site has officially gone online. This move undoubtedly brings substantial compensation hope to the attacked users.
Previously, the ALEX platform was attacked by malicious activities, which caused a huge stir in the market for a time. The ALEX team responded promptly, took active measures to control the development of the situation, and made every effort to mitigate the subsequent impact. Nowadays, the advancement of the compensation plan has taken a crucial step towards the resolution of the entire incident.
On the occasion of the launch of the TGP compensation claim site, ALEX specially issued a security interaction reminder to users. In recent years, with the rapid development of the blockchain industry, various security incidents have occurred frequently. According to the “2024 Blockchain Security and Anti-Money Laundering Annual Report” released by SlowMist, a total of 410 security incidents occurred in 2024, causing losses of 2.013 billion US dollars, among which wallet phishing attacks resulted in losses of 494 million US dollars, representing a year-on-year increase of 67%. Under such a severe security situation, it is urgent to enhance users’ security awareness.
ALEX reminds users that when conducting interactive operations such as claiming compensation, they must carefully check whether the domain name is correct. Nowadays, phishing methods are emerging in an endless stream. Lawbreakers often create fake websites that are extremely similar to the official ones, luring users into entering personal information or performing operations, thereby stealing users’ assets. Therefore, users should carefully check the website address to ensure that they are visiting the official TGP compensation claim site designated by ALEX.
At the same time, users must not connect to any other websites or applications that have not been officially approved. In the field of blockchain, some malicious applications or websites may contain malicious code. Once users connect, it may lead to the implantation of Trojans in their devices, thereby threatening the security of users’ encrypted assets. Moreover, users must not trust anyone who offers “help” or extended links, nor should they share or enter mnemonic phrases on any website. Mnemonic phrases are the core credentials of an encrypted wallet. Once leaked, users’ assets will face a huge risk of being stolen.
In addition, members of the ALEX team will not proactively send private messages asking for mnemonic phrases or passwords, nor will they request extended access, nor will they provide links to unofficial websites or Dapps. When faced with all kinds of information, users should remain highly vigilant and carefully distinguish the authenticity and reliability of the information sources. If you receive suspicious information, you can verify it through official channels to avoid being deceived.
This time, while ALEX was promoting the compensation work, he particularly emphasized secure interaction, fully demonstrating his emphasis on the security of users’ assets. In the complex and volatile cryptocurrency market environment, users themselves should also constantly enhance their security awareness, operate with caution, and effectively protect the security of their assets.
