Despite advancements in security measures, hackers continue to exploit vulnerabilities in systems to steal assets. The industry continues to grapple with these issues, seeking ways to enhance security and protect users' assets. The Velocore incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust security measures in the digital asset space.
