💰🔒 Hacker Offers Consolation: $14M Refund for $71M Crypto Loss! 💸💔
In a surprising turn of events, the hacker behind one of the largest crypto frauds recently seen made a partial refund of $14 million to the victim who lost 1155 WBTC, valued at $71 million. The repayment, made in 4676 ETH installments, marks a significant development in the aftermath of the elaborate trap.
The incident underscores the growing prevalence of traps targeting user oversight in the crypto realm. In this case, the victim intended to transfer 1155 WBTC to a self-created address. However, the hacker, keenly observing the user's actions, replicated a similar address by mirroring the initial and final characters.
By subtly inserting this fraudulent address into the victim's transaction history, the hacker managed to divert the entire WBTC sum intended for the original address. Had the user meticulously scrutinized the address, the mishap could have been averted. Unfortunately, a simple copy-paste transaction led to a staggering $71 million loss.
