South Korea’s National Tax Service accidentally exposed the recovery seed phrase of a seized crypto wallet in a public press release photo, leading attackers to drain about $4.8 million worth of PRTG tokens shortly afterward. The leaked seed phrase gave full control of the wallet, allowing transfers to unknown addresses within hours. Experts say the mistake highlights serious gaps in how authorities handle and secure sensitive digital asset information, raising concerns about institutional readiness for crypto regulation and custody.
