Hundreds of Dormant Ethereum Wallets Drained by Single Address

ETH0.13%
According to ChainCatcher, citing analyst Wazz, hundreds of dormant Ethereum wallets, many inactive for over seven years, were drained by the same address on ETH mainnet. Aragon team member @TheTakenUser confirmed their wallet was affected. The root cause remains unclear, though community analysis suggests the compromise stems from leaked seed phrases, private keys, or compromised password managers from 2017-2020, or prior risky token approvals, rather than a new smart contract vulnerability.
