A certain DeFi platform, MakinaFi, recently suffered a hacking incident. According to on-chain data tracking, the hacker stole approximately 1,299 ETH in this attack, which was worth about $4.13 million at the time.

It is noteworthy that some transactions were front-run by MEV builders (address 0xa6c2…), further illustrating the complex on-chain interaction environment.

The stolen funds have now been split into two wallet addresses. The larger portion, worth about $3.3 million, is stored at address 0xbed2…dE25, while approximately $880,000 is stored at address 0x573d…910e. This kind of fund dispersion is a common tactic used by hackers to evade tracking and freezing.

This incident serves as a reminder for DeFi users to remain vigilant when interacting with various platforms, especially regarding contract risk assessment and cautious fund management.

4.13 million dollars gone, this is DeFi... another bloody lesson --- MEV attacks + hackers double kill, really outrageous --- Decentralized wallets are old news, can they still escape on-chain? --- Here comes the "raise awareness" routine again, but next time many will still fall into the trap --- 1299 ETH, how many people's life savings does it take to pay for this lesson --- MEV builders are just along for the ride, hackers eat the meat, and we... eat the shit --- Those who dare to pour money into DeFi, in plain terms, are just gambling for points --- Looks like MakinaFi's smart contract audit is just for show --- Spreading funds across two wallets to escape? Blockchain tracking should be doing its job --- It's always the same, warning users only after the fact—what's the use of that?

Another DeFi platform has fallen, this broken ecosystem is really rotten MEV vampires are still taking advantage of the chaos, unbelievable 1299 ETH are gone, I will never earn that in my lifetime Should we still dare to touch DeFi, everyone? The risk is too high Hackers dispersing funds is just delaying, they will eventually be exposed That's why I only hold mainstream coins, everything else is gambling

Here we go again... DeFi platform gets exploited, 4.13 million just gone --- MEV front-running is everywhere now, the on-chain environment is really hard to describe --- The trick of using decentralized wallet addresses, hackers are playing all kinds of tricks --- Still dare to deposit large amounts in DeFi? Bro, you are really brave --- Every time I see this kind of thing, I think of the saying, Not your keys, not your coins --- $3.3 million just floating on the chain, trackers probably need to work overtime --- Contract audits are really a big deal; saving that little bit of money ends up costing more in the end --- I already said to keep your keys yourself, but in the end, you still rely on the platform—it's a classic case of nesting layers

Another DeFi hack, the frequency is really incredible Too brutal, and MEV is making a profit from it, on-chain you can't stay at ease Are people foolish and rich, or are the contracts just bad? Anyway, I'm scared Funds are now split into two addresses, hackers' operations are beyond our reach Take advice and don't go all-in on small platforms, the money really can't withstand abuse

Here we go again, DeFi is exposed again. This time, the method is quite professional, and the fund dispersion strategy is played very skillfully. Is the MEV grabber also getting involved? Truly impressive, hackers and bots working together to farm yields. Are smart contract audits just a formality? Or is everyone just gambling with luck? I’m too lazy to look at those wallet addresses anyway, they can’t be traced back. It’s just another on-chain drama.
