An unidentified crypto investor has lost over $3 million in a highly coordinated phishing attack after unknowingly authorizing a malicious contract.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 11, blockchain investigator ZachXBT<\/a> first flagged the incident, revealing that the victim\u2019s wallet was drained of $3.047 million in USDC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The attacker quickly swapped the stablecoins for Ethereum<\/a> and funneled the proceeds into Tornado Cash,<\/a> a privacy protocol often used to obscure the flow of stolen funds.<\/p>\n

How the exploit occurred<\/h2>\n

SlowMist founder Yu Xian explained<\/a> that the compromised address was a 2-of-4 Safe multi-signature wallet.<\/p>\n

He explained that the breach originated from two consecutive transactions in which the victim approved transfers to an address that mimicked their intended recipient.<\/p>\n

The attacker crafted the fraudulent contract so that its first and last characters mirrored the legitimate one, making it difficult to detect.<\/p>\n

Xian added that the exploit took advantage of the Safe Multi Send mechanism, disguising the abnormal approval inside what appeared to be a routine authorization.<\/p>\n

He wrote:<\/p>\n

“This abnormal authorization was hard to detect because it wasn\u2019t a standard approve.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Scam Sniffer, the attacker had prepared the ground well in advance. They deployed<\/a> a fake but Etherscan-verified contract nearly two weeks earlier, programming it with multiple \u201cbatch payment\u201d functions to look legitimate.<\/p>\n

On the day of the exploit, the malicious approval was executed through the Request Finance app interface, giving the attacker access to the victim\u2019s funds.<\/p>\n

In response, Request Finance acknowledged that a malicious actor had deployed a counterfeit version of its Batch Payment contract. The company noted that only one customer was affected and stressed that the vulnerability has since been patched.<\/p>\n

Still, Scam Sniffer highlighted broader concerns about the phishing<\/a> incident.<\/p>\n

The blockchain security firm warned that similar exploits could stem from several vectors, including app vulnerabilities, malware or browser extensions modifying transactions, compromised front-ends, or DNS hijacking.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the use of verified contracts and near-identical addresses illustrates how attackers are refining their methods to bypass user scrutiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
