Suspected Private Key Leak Results in Roughly $25 Million Theft, Following a $24 Million Loss in 2023 Due to a Phishing Attack

BlockBeats News, August 13th: According to ScamSniffer monitoring, a cryptocurrency holder was reportedly drained in a matter of 15 minutes due to a suspected private key leak, losing approximately $25 million. Both addresses belonging to the same victim saw all assets— including DAI, WBTC, aUSDC, LDO, sUSDe, and native ETH— transferred to a new address.

Within one hour, the stolen funds were exchanged for DAI and ETH: 20 million DAI was transferred to another address, while about 3,000 ETH remained in the consolidation address. This incident is believed to be a result of a private key leak rather than the usual phishing approval.

Notably, the victim's address, which lost 4,851 rETH and 9,579 stETH (approximately $24 million) in September 2023 due to a phishing increaseAllowance transaction, is the same wallet as in this recent attack. The attacker had returned around 90% of the stolen funds in that previous incident.
