A recent cross-chain wallet security incident has drawn widespread attention. According to security researcher ZachXBT, hundreds of wallets were targeted in coordinated attacks, with total losses exceeding $107,000, and the situation is still ongoing.



The most peculiar aspect of this attack lies in its method—attackers did not greedily drain individual wallets all at once, but instead precisely kept each wallet's loss below $2000. This low-amount, high-frequency modus operandi spanned multiple blockchain networks.

From a technical perspective, the attack may have originated from phishing scams, system backdoors, or smart contract vulnerabilities. By employing this seemingly "ant nibbling at bones" approach, attackers can reduce the risk of quick detection while rapidly accumulating profits through batch operations before fleeing. This level of precision and operational efficiency is indeed concerning.

A few details to note: current loss data may not be fully comprehensive, and the actual impact could be larger. More critically, the attackers are likely still active, and more users' assets may face threats in the future. Additionally, official statements involving the chain should be approached with caution—there's a possibility of internal involvement.

This incident also reminds us to reevaluate the security mechanisms of cross-chain wallets. Would you still keep large assets in cross-chain wallets? Or, would this change your asset management strategy? Feel free to share your thoughts.

Ant's bone-chewing technique is really top-notch, so low-key that it's hard to guard against. I'm now completely losing confidence in cross-chain wallets. --- Over $100,000 is still bleeding out, and this is just the beginning. The actual number is definitely more terrifying. --- There's no need to rule out insider threats; just escalate to the top. Who trusts the integrity of some project teams? --- Still dare to put money into cross-chain wallets? I'm not a fool; I've already moved everything to cold storage. --- This level of operational precision... doesn't seem like an amateur job; there must be a team behind it. --- Each one under 2000, truly textbook-level risk avoidance. Absolutely impressive. --- Sorry, I've already withdrawn everything. Only now do I feel relieved after seeing this news. --- Phishing, backdoors, or smart contract vulnerabilities? Anyway, there's no way to hide from them. Who knows who the next victim will be?

Wow, this technique is really amazing. Each wallet only gets $2,000, who would have thought it could be so meticulous?

Here we go again, cross-chain wallets really don't dare to risk big now. The tactic of low amount and high frequency is indeed ruthless. By the time you realize it, it's already gone. These days, I only trust cold wallets. $2000 per wallet... hundreds of them? This guy's organization is way too tight. I really can't understand the official statement; who knows who is inside. Honestly, you still have to be careful yourself and not fall for phishing links.
