Multiple large-scale wallet draining incidents have occurred across various EVM chains. According to security tracking experts, hundreds of wallets have been targeted in coordinated attacks, affecting a wide range of victims. The attackers employed a "slow and steady" tactic—each wallet was robbed of less than $2000, effectively avoiding detection by monitoring systems.

From the known information, the total stolen amount in this incident has exceeded $107,000 and is still increasing. The most troubling aspect is that the security community and exchanges have yet to identify the root cause of this attack. Is it due to smart contract vulnerabilities, private key leaks, or new phishing techniques? The investigation is ongoing.

This incident serves as a reminder to all cross-chain participants: even if individual account limits are small, dispersed small-scale thefts are often harder to detect and can accumulate into systemic risks. Users are advised to immediately check the status of their multi-chain wallets and enable advanced security protections.

This attack method is incredible; decentralized theft is really hard to prevent. Gradual evasion of monitoring? What kind of clever hacker team is this? I just want to know the root cause; it feels like we're all kept in the dark. Quickly check the wallet; I'm suspicious of my cold wallet. This is exactly like boiling a frog in warm water; it's too ruthless. Over a million dollars? Still increasing? This is bad. If the private key leaks, it's game over. How to prevent it? I think it's most likely phishing, but the scale is too outrageous. Multi-chain wallets really need to be taken seriously; otherwise, they'll be gone someday. Time to stock up on cold wallets again; more reliable.

The $2000 threshold design to evade risk control mechanisms... This tactic is quite clever and very targeted. --- Is $107,000 still increasing? This is the real systemic risk—dispersed, covert, and hard to trace. --- The root cause hasn't been identified yet, indicating that the attack chain might be far more complex than imagined, and it's unlikely to be just a simple private key leak. --- It's another case of "small streams make big rivers." It seems the previous monitoring thresholds have completely failed, and the risk control mechanism needs to be redesigned. --- Hundreds of wallets suffering simultaneously... This scale isn't a small move; there must be considerable on-chain intelligence behind it. --- Each only stolen $2000, but the total of 107K is still rising. The speed of this data growth is a bit alarming. --- It's really a tactic of dispersing the liquidation risk of each account into the unseen, accumulating into a big problem. --- Private key leaks, contract vulnerabilities, phishing... none have been ruled out, which means the worst-case scenario—possibly all of them—is happening. --- Quickly check the wallet status. Enabling advanced protection is no longer just a suggestion; it's an essential measure now. --- The $2000 figure suggests that attackers have studied the exchange's risk control thresholds quite thoroughly.

Here we go again? This "slow and steady" trick really treats the exchange's risk control system as paper-thin. Wow, only 107,000 and it's still rising. How much money must be involved for it to be targeted? Quickly check the wallet. I'm thinking, which vulnerability is this time? When can we find the source? So frustrating. Is it a private key leak or a contract bug? Anyway, it's all over. Decentralized theft is indeed hard to prevent. This move is a bit ruthless.

Damn, the trick of small, steady streams is really brilliant. Avoid detection for each transaction under $2000, and it adds up to over 107k+. These hackers are so thorough. Is it another private key leak or a 0day in the contract? Nobody knows for sure. That's the most terrifying part. I really need to quickly scan my wallets; I'm a bit panicked. This time, we definitely need to learn a lesson. The tactic of multiple small wallets targets us retail investors. Nobody knows the root cause? Then this matter is very suspicious. EVM chains really need to reflect on themselves.

Here we go again, the tactic of steady water flow is really brilliant, attackers are playing very skillfully, they almost didn't send an invitation directly to the risk control system. This wave still has $107K and is still rising, the root cause hasn't been identified yet, it feels like the difficulty level of this mission is maxed out. Everyone, hurry up and check your equipment before moon landing. Private keys are really hard to defend against, small amounts multiple times make it even more frustrating. When accumulated, it directly causes systemic explosion. This is textbook risk management.
