【Crypto World】A cross-chain theft incident recently occurred, affecting Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum. The attack method was quite covert, locking the wallets of thousands of users.
How big is the scale? The losses per individual seem small—each victim lost less than $2,000—but accumulated, the stolen funds have exceeded $107,000.
On-chain analyst ZachXBT delved into the incident, uncovering the attack pattern and tracing the flow of these illicit funds to a single address. This provides us with a clue for defense.
How to protect yourself? The security team offers three suggestions: First, promptly revoke the authorization of your old wallets, especially those linked to infrequently used applications; second, avoid engaging in transactions from uncertain sources for now; third, if you are active on these chains, stay vigilant and regularly check your authorization list.
This is no small matter—such coordinated cross-chain attacks indicate experienced adversaries. We must take this seriously.

Stolen again and again, this time all four chains at once? I was just saying that recently you need to check your authorizations more frequently, or else you'll just get chopped up like a leek.

Here we go again. The pile of authorization stuff really needs to be cleaned up regularly. I almost forgot what I approved. Better go review it quickly.

Another wave of coin theft incidents, really hard to prevent. Quickly revoke those old permissions.
Warning: $100,000 theft cases have occurred on multiple EVM chains. These three tricks can save you
