At first I thought it was a joke, but after checking the records on the chain I was silent. This brother has held 492 ETH for more than 5 years, and has never participated in any DeFi, NFT, or mining investment during this period. Until yesterday, when he tried something new for the first time, it was directly stolen, and 7 million RMB worth of it was directly wiped out. It is in line with the old saying: What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen will not be forced.
Through the blockchain browser, it can be seen that this brother first hoarded coins 1900 days ago, transferring 144 ETH, which was also the first transaction of this address. In the following years, there were only some transfers into ETH, without any DeFi NFT and other interactions. It seems that he is a long-term hoarder.
Tragedy happened a year ago. I don’t know what was wrong with this guy’s brain. He probably saw some free airdrop or something, and directly authorized the wallet and performed a claim operation. 494 ETH were stolen in an instant.
The etherscan blockchain browser shows that the operation is claim reward, which means collecting rewards. Friends who are familiar with DeFi know the word claim. It is generally used in DeFi projects when project parties give rewards such as liquidity mining. Generally, in order to save gas fees, more rewards are collected and claimed in a unified manner.
The address to which 494 ETH were transferred has been marked by etherscan as Fake phishing, that is, the payment address of a phishing website. It seems that he is not the only one who has been caught in this trap.
The lesson of 7 million reminds everyone again that if you have a main wallet with a large amount of coins hoarded, do not interact with it at all. Use a small wallet for airdrop dapp interactions. If you need to interact with your wallet, be sure to check the website address to prevent phishing. Some hackers will play the long game. Maybe you have lost your private key for more than half a year and he will not steal your coins because the money is too little. If you suddenly withdraw a large amount to the address one day, it will be transferred away by the written program and robot in minutes, and you will not be able to remember when you leaked your private key.
If you are a newbie and don’t have many coins, just put them directly in the top exchanges!
