According to Korea's Daily Economy, the Korea National Tax Service mistakenly publicly disclosed the complete mnemonic phrase of a hardware wallet in a news photo when announcing the seizure of encrypted assets. Blockchain data shows that approximately 4 million PRTG tokens in the related wallet were subsequently transferred, with an estimated value of about $4.8 million. Experts point out that the leakage of the mnemonic phrase is equivalent to handing over wallet control, which is a serious security management failure.
