Douyin user says fake wallet on Huawei store led to 177,473 USDT theft

  • —177,473 USDT was stolen after a seed phrase leak via a fake wallet
  • —Hackers switched the address to multisig and ran a second paid-unlock scam
  • —The victim said the scam app was listed on Huawei's store with five servers in Hong Kong
  • —The app's downloads fell and his video was taken down after complaints
Why it matters: The case highlights the risk of counterfeit wallets in official app stores and the danger of irreversible losses once a seed phrase is exposed.
