A Whale Falls Victim to Similar Address Phishing, Loses 50 Million USDT

2025.12.20 09:23:54

10 hours ago on December 20th, per data from Embermonitor, a whale or institutional investor withdrew 50 million USDT from Binance Plan B, then tested a 50-USDT transfer to a target address for their planned transaction. A phisher created an address with matching first and last three digits, then sent 0.005 USDT to it. When executing the actual transfer, the whale either copied the address from recent transactions or mixed it up during the formal process—resulting in the full 50 million USDT being sent to the phisher’s lookalike address. The phisher quickly swapped the 50 million USDT for DAI (to avoid asset freezing) and converted all of it into 16,624 ETH. All these ETH were subsequently laundered via Tornado Cash.

Solana Foundation Chair: Drift Attack Stemmed From Human Error, Not Smart Contract

On April 2nd, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu posted a statement: "The Drift incident has had a far-reaching impact, rippling across the entire ecosystem. The Drift team is working around the clock to investigate and contain the situation, and we are fully committed to providing support. The smart contract itself has held up to scrutiny. The attack’s actual target is people — tied more to social engineering and operational security gaps, not code-level exploits. Solana has weathered multiple challenges before, advancing through faster iteration, better infrastructure, community support, and enhanced security. Stay vigilant, review your security settings thoroughly, and keep building. We’ll provide updates on any new developments as they emerge."
