Events Under the Spotlight 🔎

A vulnerability was found in Ethereum vanity address tool

The 1inch Network disclosed a vulnerability that some of their contributors had found in Profanity, a tool used to create "vanity" wallet addresses by Ethereum users.
In June 2022, a 1inch contributor received a strange message from @samczsun regarding the suspicious activity of one of the 1inch deployer wallets, as well as Synthetix’ and some others:

At least 5 deployers of different projects claimed the same airdrop:

YettyWapp 🦇🔊 @YettyWapp

There seems to something funky going on with the $FORTA airdrop. We can assume there is a personal connection between the wallets or shared private key from the deployers claiming below and the address the tokens are transfered too… All transactions: etherscan.io/token/0x41545f…

BAYC 8941 fell for a Scam

BAYC 8941 was scammed and then scammers changed their OpenSea pfp to the AP watch from my HZ/Chase thread.

The scammer looks similar to the one who stole 1 BAYC & 4 Otherdeeds three weeks ago from 0xMystic.

Helium Network’s native HNT token hit by an accounting bug at Binance

Binance is down some 4.8 million HNT tokens that were erroneously disbursed to users, many of whom quickly sold the tokens for profit, the people said.
At Friday’s prices those assets were worth about $19 million.
The erroneous payouts appear to stem from how Binance tracks token deposits from Helium network, a popular decentralized internet connectivity project, the people said.

Attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Dogechain

According to a tweet from @0xCrumbs, Dogechain was compromised, and the hackers used the flaw to generate 9.7 million $Doge (about $600,000) and send $316,000 over a cross-chain bridge.

Before Merge, Vitalik lookalikes boost their ETH phishing campaigns

Scammers were actively utilising verified Twitter accounts to impersonate Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and defraud investors as a result of the hype around the Merge.
Hopefully, some researchers took a closer look and identified that about $90k siphoned off on the day of the Merge.
