Ongoing Multi-Chain Wallet Drains Top $107,000 as Investigators Track Suspect Address

Investigators say small, coordinated siphons across EVM wallets point to an unknown compromise vector.

Overview

  • On-chain analyst ZachXBT reported an active campaign draining hundreds of wallets across multiple EVM-compatible networks.
  • Losses have reached roughly $107,000 to date, with most affected wallets losing less than $2,000 each.
  • Chain-by-chain tallies show about $54,655 drained on Ethereum, $25,545 on BNB Chain, and $8,688 on Base, with smaller amounts on Arbitrum, Polygon, OP, Zora, and Linea.
  • Investigators flagged address 0xAc2e5153170278e24667a580baEa056ad8Bf9bFB as linked to the activity, noting rapid fund movements that complicate tracing.
  • No entry point has been confirmed, and the backdrop includes December’s 26 recorded exploits totaling about $76 million and a separate Trust Wallet extension breach that cost roughly $7 million.
