Recently, the on-chain security community has issued warnings — multiple small-scale thefts have occurred simultaneously across several EVM chains. According to the latest disclosure by on-chain analyst ZachXBT, this wave of attacks has already affected hundreds of wallets, with total stolen funds amounting to approximately $107,000, and the amount continues to rise.

The characteristics of this incident are particularly concerning. Each victim’s single theft amount is relatively small, generally under $2,000, but the large volume makes it significant. Hundreds of wallets across multiple EVM chains are being targeted simultaneously, indicating that this is not an isolated event but an organized batch attack.

What’s more troubling is that no one can fully clarify the specific cause at this point. Security teams are urgently investigating, but the attack methods behind the scenes remain a black box. Suspicious addresses have been flagged (0xAc2e5153170278e24667a580baEa056ad8Bf9bFB), but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Given that the risk is still spreading, here are a few urgent recommendations for wallet holders: immediately review your smart contract authorization list, revoke any permissions from unknown sources or those no longer in use; steer clear of unfamiliar DApps and suspicious links; monitor your wallet transaction records closely, and sound the alarm immediately if any anomalies are detected.

Until the truth behind these incidents is uncovered, exercising caution is always the right choice.

Another wave of mass theft? This time even EVM has been compromised, it feels like nowhere is safe. Revoke authorization should have been done long ago. Those of you who have been lazy about cleaning up, it's time to take action. Over $100,000 USD, it doesn't seem like much, but the method is really disgusting. All those messy authorizations in smart contracts really need to be reviewed carefully; it's hard to guard against everything. I don't know when my own wallet will also be targeted. First, make a note of the blacklisted addresses. This time the black box is really outrageous; even analysts can't figure it out, so we need to be even more cautious. When the new link arrives, don't click randomly. This reminds me of the last contract vulnerability. Hundreds of wallets being exploited simultaneously—this is definitely not a phishing attack; there's something more to it. Fortunately, I haven't held many coins all along, so this actually turned out to be wise, haha. Revoke authorization now. Idle DApps should be cleaned up; better to be safe than sorry, even if it's a bit troublesome.

Another wave? Bro, this time I learned my lesson and revoked all permissions early. --- Hundreds of wallets... this scale is a bit outrageous. --- Black box attacks are the most annoying; I have no idea how to defend against them. --- Still daring to act below 2000, these people really do everything. --- I told everyone not to click on unfamiliar links, and some still don’t believe me. --- ZachXBT definitely didn’t miss anything; starting to check permissions now, everyone. --- It’s another EVM chain. When will it finally be stable? --- Over 100,000... just thinking about it hurts. --- Urgently review everything, or just wait to suffer losses. --- Looks like no one dares to operate recklessly until they fully understand the situation; anyone who does is just foolish.

Here comes another new trick for mass harvesting... --- Black box attacks are the most disgusting; they are almost impossible to defend against. --- I cleared the authorization list long ago, so this time should be safe. --- Starting to cut from @USD2000@? Large volume, full control—now I’m really panicking. --- Who still dares to click on unfamiliar links? Now everyone has to be extra cautious. --- Another intelligence report from ZachXBT; this guy’s tracking ability is indeed top-notch. --- Hundreds of wallets being compromised simultaneously indicates there must be a common vulnerability in the method. --- The phrase "a tip of the iceberg" is well used; there will definitely be more stories to come. --- Urgently revoke authorization to prevent problems before they happen. --- If this wave is truly organized, the security community will have to really step up. --- Monitoring transaction records is too exhausting, but it seems like I need to develop this habit now.

Again, stolen again, and this time it's in bulk. Contract authorization really needs regular cleaning. A wallet with a few thousand yuan doesn't sound like much, but how many people have fallen victim? I'm scared. I just want to know when this black box can be cracked open, or else I'll be on edge every day. Just revoke all those shitcoin authorizations for safety. ZachXBT says it's still going up. Really? What's going on? I'm numb. It feels like there's a new security issue every day. Are we still allowed to play with coins? Recently, don't click on anything on the DApp side. Play it safe.

Here comes another wave? I told you these past two weeks something's been weird on the chain, better revoke permissions quickly. --- Hundreds of wallets, this guy really has a wild hand. --- Black box status... this is the most terrifying part, even experts can't figure out the tricks. --- Only 107,000? Feels like it's just the beginning, it will go up more later. --- Another batch of thefts, my goodness, I need to review my contracts again. --- I've long stopped clicking on unknown links, I'm afraid of being exploited. --- No one can clearly explain how it was done this time, so we need to be even more careful. --- ZachXBT is back with concerns, every time I get nervous for a while. --- 2000 bucks per wallet, large volume is a guarantee, this guy is really meticulous. --- Using the phrase "a tip of the iceberg," it never ends.
