😱🫨 Hacker made a consolation payment to the person who lost 71 million worth of crypto money
While one of the biggest of the trap link attacks that have been seen a lot in the cryptocurrency world recently happened last week, an interesting payback came from the hacker.
Friday paid a refund of $ 14 million to the person who lost 1155 #WBTC worth $ 71 million, the hacker who stole the assets made a refund of $ 14 million today. The hacker sent a total of 4676 ETH in pieces back to the victimized crypto investor.
What had happened?
As it is known, in the recent period, the traps prepared for user inattention in the cryptocurrency world have started to increase. In the example here, the victim user wanted to send 1155 WBTC to an address he created himself. This address became visible in the transaction history of the user who sent 0.05 ETH to the account in the first place. However, the hacker who followed this person created another similar address by making the letters at the beginning and end the same.
The hacker who sent ETH with a value close to 0 to the victim's account also entered his transaction history.
The fact that the beginning and end of the addresses usually appear in the transaction histories caused the person to be surprised. As a result, this person actually sent all his WBTC to the address that appears on it and is very similar (but not the same), and not to the address to which he sent his 0.05 ETH.
If this person had checked all the letters of the addresses, this situation would not have happened to him. The copy/paste style transaction caused a loss of $ 71 million here.
