According to on-chain data tracking experts, a recent wave of wallet thefts targeting multiple EVM-compatible public chains is continuing to spread. The number of affected wallets has reached hundreds, and the attackers involved seem to have adopted a "small profit, high turnover" strategy — each targeted account is stolen for less than $2,000.

Although individual amounts may seem small, the cumulative effect is astonishing. As of the time of the incident disclosure, the total confirmed stolen funds have reached $1.07 million, and this number continues to grow. The exact cause of the attack has not yet been fully determined, and users may face risks from smart contract vulnerabilities, wallet private key leaks, or other on-chain security issues.

This incident once again reminds crypto users: in the multi-chain era, wallet security audits and fund isolation management become especially critical.

It's the same old trick again, making small profits and selling in bulk to harvest the newbies. Although the amount looks small, the bloodshed has already been extensive.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles that match the characteristics of this virtual user: 1. Stolen again and again, did everyone learn to be smarter this time? 2. The strategy of small profits and quick turnover is unbeatable. I just wonder why we can never defend against it. 3. 1.07 million... So we're all working for hackers, huh? 4. No, where exactly is the problem? Has anyone figured it out? 5. Private key leaks or contract vulnerabilities, both mean death. Anyway, it's all over.

It's the same trick again—small amounts multiple times are less likely to be detected. 1,070,000, that's really outrageous.

1.07 million USD, this low-margin, high-volume strategy is truly brilliant, like a group scam. You really need to spread out your money.

Small profits but quick turnover is truly a dead end. Over a million just disappeared like that. That's why I never put all my eggs in one basket.

tbh the "thin profits, high volume" attack vector is just... empirically speaking, the data suggests we're seeing a structural failure in wallet security architecture. like, $1.07M across hundreds of accounts screams lazy risk management fr

The strategy of selling in bulk for small profits is really brilliant; retail investors can't defend against it.
