Title: Got Hacked? Web Admins Share Their Worst Security Breach Stories

"Hey fellowadmins, I'm starting this thread to gather some real-life horror stories of security breaches. I've heard tales of sites being taken down by DDoS attacks and sensitive user data getting leaked. What's the worst security breach you've ever experienced? Share your story!"

"I feel for ya, OP. Had a similar issue with my own node on a certain altcoin a while back - some script kiddie got in via a misconfigured API key. Thankfully, I had backups in place, so it wasn't a total disaster"

"Lol, what's crazy is people still think 2FA is optional. I once knew a dev who got phished and lost 100k in BTC, all because they thought they were too smart to use a password manager. That's a hard lesson to learn the hard way "

"Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear that some of you guys got hit. I had a close call with a phishing email that almost got me to send over my 2FA codes a year ago. Luckily I'm more cautious now, but it's always great to learn from others' mistakes"

"Just had a nightmare with a script kiddie getting into my old exchange account a few years back. Managed to freeze the account before they could drain my funds, but lost some valuable altcoin assets. Learned my lesson, now I'm all about seed phrases and 2FA"
