The seemingly simple yet repeatedly successful "Address Poisoning Attack" has been occurring frequently lately. Recently, a cryptocurrency trader fell into such a trap, losing nearly 50 million USD in just half an hour. Although a "white hat bounty" of 1 million USD was offered afterward to urge the attacker to return the assets, the hope of recovery is slim as the stolen assets have already flowed into mixing platforms. According to the on-chain data analysis platform Lookonchain, this incident occurred on December 20th, when the victim was withdrawing assets from Binance and intended to transfer them to a personal wallet. > A victim (0xcB80) lost $50M due to a copy-paste Address

1. Yearn yETH pool suffered an attack leading to abnormal minting, resulting in a loss of approximately 9 million USD. The yETH product of Yearn Finance was attacked, and the attacker seems to have exploited a vulnerability to mint nearly an unlimited amount of yETH, draining the pool in a single transaction and profiting around 1,000 ETH, some of which has been transferred to Tornado Cash; on-chain data shows that the attack involved multiple newly deployed contracts that self-destructed afterwards. Yearn officials stated that this abnormal minting incident resulted in a loss of approximately 9 million USD. Slow Mist founder Yu Xian tweeted that the "white hat negotiation" messages that appeared on-chain after the Yearn attack were fabricated and were actually phishing activities, related to the previous Balancer.

According to Mars Finance, Yuxian, the founder of Slow Fog, tweeted that the "white hat negotiation" message that appeared on-chain after the Yearn attack is fabricated and is actually a phishing attempt, consistent with the previous Balancer incident. The attacker used the Railgun protocol to hide their identification, prepared a low Gas Address 28 days in advance, and completed the exploitation, ultimately transferring 1,000 ETH through Tornado Cash. Currently, the attacker's address still holds approximately 6 million dollars in encryption assets.

Author: Vladimir S. | Officer's Notes Compiled by: Shenchao TechFlow Initially, the birth of cryptocurrency was to pursue privacy and freedom, but now everything is tracked, linked, and sold. Blockchain is a permanently public ledger, exchanges require identity information (KYC), and analytics companies earn millions by linking your wallet to your real identity. The good news is that as long as you consciously take steps, you can still maintain a significant level of privacy. You don’t need to become an extreme privacy advocate who wears a "tin foil hat"; just develop some basic habits. Here are some truly effective privacy protection tips for 2025: 1. Stop reusing wallet addresses every time you receive funds using the same address, you are essentially making your transaction history public to the entire world. Therefore, generate a new address each time you use it, or

(Balancer suspected of being hacked for $116 million! A major security vulnerability explodes in DeFi ) White hat hackers and the internal team work together to recover funds. The attack occurred on November 3, when hackers exploited a vulnerability in the access control of the Balancer v2 smart contract, successfully stealing a large amount of funds. However, shortly after the incident, white hat hackers and Balancer's internal security team acted quickly, successfully recovering approximately $8 million in assets from multiple chains. According to

After the Balancer v2 vault was attacked due to a major vulnerability, resulting in the loss of over $116 million in funds for several weeks, the Balancer DAO has begun discussing a plan to allocate approximately $8 million in recovered assets to the affected LPs.

According to Mars Finance, some users may not have received the Monad Airdrop, and it is advised to check whether the Wallet Address bound on the airdrop claiming page claim.monad.xyz is the expected address. Yu Xian stated that if the bound address is not what the user expected, they may have encountered a problem similar to that of user Onefly (@Onefly) - the Wallet Address being bound to a Hacker's Address, resulting in the official distribution of the airdrop to the hacker. Yu Xian revealed that a white hat hacker had previously synced a related vulnerability with him, which has a prerequisite: if someone hijacks the user's session on the Monad airdrop claiming page, they can change the claiming Wallet Address without further confirmation.

According to Mars Finance news, on-chain analyst Yu Jin has monitored that the Balancer hacker started to launder ETH by transferring ETH after exchanging ETH LST tokens and other non-ETH tokens into ETH through Tornado: in the past hour, 2,000 ETH (636 million USD ) was deposited into Tornado. By transferring the stolen assets through Tornado, this essentially means that the hacker has given up the route of returning the assets to Balancer and then obtaining the white hat bounty.
