Hundreds of cryptocurrency wallets across various EVM-compatible chains are being drained in an ongoing attack, with losses mounting and the root cause still unidentified. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT has been tracking the incident, reporting that the attacker targets a large number of wallets for relatively small sums, typically under $2,000 per victim. While individual thefts are modest, the cumulative impact has reached approximately $107,000 and is expected to rise.
