A user lost $68 million after falling victim to a "dust attack". The monitoring platform Cyvers Alerts detected a transaction for 1155 WBTC.
The dust attack is used by attackers as a tracking system - they tag the victim's wallets with microtransactions. As a rule, such wallets have similar addresses (beginning and end). Due to inattention, the user can use it in the future for a reciprocal payment.
Onchain analysts claim that this is the largest such attack.
