Wallet lost $32 million in phishing attack, F2Pool founder’s wallet may have been stolen

According to Cointelegraph, a wallet ending in “e57” was the victim of a phishing attack on September 27, losing 12,083 Spark Wrapped Ethereum (spWETH) worth $32 million.

According to CertiK, 10,000 spWETH (about $26 million) was transferred to a wallet starting with "0x471c", and part of the funds were subsequently transferred to 4 other wallets.

Arkham Intelligence data shows that the stolen wallet may belong to F2Pool founder Mao Shihang, but this has not been confirmed.

In August 2024, phishing attacks surged 215%. According to Scam Sniffer, the total loss from malicious attacks that month exceeded $66 million, with one wallet losing $55 million in a single attack.

Blockaid reported in September that the notorious Angel Drainer phishing software was upgraded to AngelX, which deployed more than 300 phishing DApps in 4 days, targeting The Open Network (TON) and Tron (TRX).

Scam Sniffer reported on September 11 that the search engine DuckDuckGo displayed a fraudulent Etherscan website, which allowed hackers to access funds after users connected their MetaMask wallets.
