👀👀BREAKING NEWS👀👀
hundreds of crypto wallets across multiple Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains are being drained and the exact root cause hasn’t been officially identified yet. Multiple independent crypto news outlets report:
📉 Ongoing wallet-draining attack: Hundreds of wallets are losing funds across EVM chains (e.g., Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum), mostly small amounts (typically under ~$2,000 per wallet), with cumulative losses exceeding ~$107,000 and still rising.
🕵️♂️ Cause still unknown: Blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged these drains on his Telegram and identified a suspicious attacker address (0xAc2e…F9bFB), but investigators have not yet confirmed how the attacker is gaining access to wallets or pinpointed a definitive exploit vector.
🚨 No confirmed vulnerability yet: At the time of reporting, security researchers haven’t publicly identified a specific protocol flaw or confirmed if this stems from phishing, compromised extensions, private key leaks, or some other mechanism — so the root cause remains undetermined.
🤔In short: yes — there’s active wallet draining happening, and while some suspicious addresses and patterns have been flagged, the exact cause hasn’t been conclusively identified yet.
