ME News: On July 6 (UTC+8), security analysis platform GoPlus tweeted regarding the incident where a user exchanged approximately 1126 ETH (worth about $2.01 million) for 5776 LIT (worth about $14k) on Uniswap, losing nearly $2 million, stating that the core reason for the incident is not a sandwich attack but a backrunner arbitrage in the same block. The routing contract sent a large amount of WETH into an AVAIL/WETH trading pool with extremely poor liquidity, causing the user to buy AVAIL at a price severely deviating from the market price (approximately 120 times the reasonable price). Subsequently, in the same block, the backrunner used a very small amount of AVAIL at the real price to reverse trade the pool, draining approximately 1072 WETH, and paid most of it (about 1018 ETH) as builder payment to Titan Builder.
