Israel-linked group hacks Iranian cryptocurrency exchange in $90m heist

11. that explains the "key" to the address...

but not the address itself.

i guess my question boils down to:

here is this magical address …a vanity address…that no one can get into without the secret key.

and over there is a regular address that is supposed to be secure, but we regularly hear of hundreds of millions of dollars of crypto disappearing into the hacker-world, never to be recovered.

so why would anyone use the regular address and NOT a “vanity address”?

and what is the difference between the two?
