A widespread wallet theft incident has recently occurred across multiple EVM networks. According to security analysts' tracking, hundreds of wallets have been compromised, with total losses reaching approximately $107,000, and this number continues to rise.
What’s more noteworthy is that these attacks exhibit a decentralized pattern. The amount stolen in a single incident usually does not exceed $2,000. While the scale may seem small, the large number of affected wallets results in a significant cumulative effect. This "small amount multiple times" attack pattern is easy to overlook initially and has expanded the scope of victims considerably.
Currently, a challenging issue is that security researchers have not yet confirmed the specific entry point of the attackers into the system. The attack vector is unknown, making it difficult for defenders to target and patch vulnerabilities effectively. There may also be new victims emerging in the future. Experts warn that if this security vulnerability is not fixed promptly, the losses could continue to increase.

Coming back with the same trick? The small-amount multiple transactions strategy is unstoppable.

Here we go again with this... Small, frequent losses to harvest profits, it's hard to guard against.

Damn, another wave? Small amounts multiple times is really a genius move, so good at exploiting.
I don't even know where the vulnerability is, that's the most disgusting part, can't defend against it. I quickly moved my idle funds into a hardware wallet, don't wait for zeroing out.
These days, even free airdrops require caution, who dares to trust wallet security?
Be careful, don't become the next victim.

Small-scale repeated thefts are indeed cunning. It may seem harmless in a single instance, but when accumulated, it becomes a systemic issue. The key is that the breach point is still unknown, which is the most troublesome part.
Has the intrusion vector not been confirmed yet? Then the defenders are indeed a bit passive. Technically speaking, it needs to be checked step by step from the logs, permission management, and dependency packages. Further verification is needed to identify which link was compromised.
Losses of over a million may not seem large, but being spread across so many wallets makes it even harder to defend. If the problem is not quickly identified, subsequent risks will double.
