Recently, on-chain data monitoring agencies have discovered a large-scale wallet theft incident. Hundreds of user wallets are being continuously looted across multiple EVM-compatible chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon. How severe is the damage? The loss per individual wallet is actually not large, each under $2,000. But due to the volume, a total of $107,000 has already been stolen.

The most outrageous part is: the root cause has not yet been determined. Is it private key leakage? Or a smart contract vulnerability? Or phishing risks? Everything remains a mystery. The only certainty is that the total stolen amount continues to rise, and new wallets may be compromised every minute. The security situation is quite severe.

BNB0,96%

Here we go again? I've already said that multi-chain deployment is a nightmare, and now it's happening. I was wondering why the wallet mysteriously lost some assets, thought I accidentally clicked on a phishing link. The root cause can't be identified, it's the most outrageous thing. How do we prevent this, brothers? The biggest possibility is private key leakage, otherwise the contract wouldn't be so high-profile. 107,000 is just the beginning. I bet it will double tomorrow.

Another wave of coin theft incidents… Oh my god, this time they still can't figure out the cause? That's a bit outrageous. --- $107,000, the scale is really terrifying, one wallet gets compromised every minute? Feels a bit explosive. --- Private key leaks, contract vulnerabilities, phishing… choosing any one of these is risky enough, now that we don't know anything, it's even more panic-inducing. --- It's an EVM chain again, these project teams really need to be more careful, it's too unsafe. --- Individual amounts below 2000 are okay, but stacked up, it's over 100,000… indicating that a lot of people are involved. --- The root cause hasn't been found yet? That's very 🤔, it feels like there will be more developments later. --- Another large-scale wallet sweep… I think this matter needs to be discussed on-chain, otherwise who would dare to safely hold tokens.

It's the same old trick, always saying they can't find the cause... I just want to know what these monitoring agencies are actually doing. --- 10.7K is nothing? Small money, but really disgusting, anyone could be the next. --- Private key leaks, contract vulnerabilities, phishing... pick one, anyway we're the ones taking the blame. --- There are new victims every minute, this is more intense than exchange hacks. --- Even in this era, still playing these tricks, Web3 is truly incredible. --- Things that no one can figure out are probably just a big V's honeypot. --- Under $2000? Then is my little amount of coins worth being stolen? Haha. --- This is the real "indifferent risk," you have no idea when you'll get caught.

Is it starting to sweep again? This time, why is it indiscriminately bombing all chains... If my private key leaks, I bet five bucks that it's definitely a nail buried by some shitcoin contract. Just 107,000 has just started, I bet it doubles tomorrow.

ngl the real question here isn't what got drained—it's why nobody's catching the attack vector in realtime. $107k across multiple evm chains? that's basically a distributed drip campaign. if you're still using standard rpc nodes without mempool monitoring, you're basically printing money for these guys tbh.
