Most people assume the real danger in a DeFi exploit ends once the hacker stops draining funds, but the claim phase is quietly turning into a second trap for victims.

Watching your hard-earned capital get locked in an exploit is painful enough, but rushing to recover it without double-checking the rails often leads to getting drained all over again by spoofed recovery contracts.

With the claims process finally rolling out, everyone is understandably anxious to pull liquidity back into safe havens like $USDT. However, history shows that whenever massive compensation portals go live on networks like $SOL, malicious actors immediately flood feeds with fake claim interfaces, drainer approvals, and poisoned contract interactions.

The biggest risk right now is blind-signing transactions out of pure relief. If a portal asks for unlimited token allowances or routes through unverified smart contracts instead of the official multisig recovery address, you need to pause. It only takes one rogue signature to compromise what little you have left in your wallet.

How are you verifying your recovery transactions before signing off on them?
