The attacker returned most of the stolen funds, and the victims of the 1,155 WBTC scam recovered more than 96% of their funds

Recently, a scam involving 1,155 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) has attracted widespread attention. Blockchain data shows that an address poisoning attacker successfully tricked users into sending him 1,155 WBTC worth about $68 million. However, surprisingly, the attacker has returned almost all of the stolen funds.

It is understood that these funds have been converted into Ether (ETH) during the attacker's holding period. Although the price of ETH has fallen during this period, the attacker still chose to return the funds to the victims. Specifically, the attacker returned about 22,960.07 ETH, worth about $65.7 million, accounting for more than 96% of the dollar value of the initially stolen funds.

This incident has once again sparked a discussion about the security of cryptocurrencies. Although blockchain technology itself is considered relatively safe, users may still face various risks during use. In this incident, the attacker used address poisoning to commit fraud by misleading users to send funds to the wrong address.

For the victims, although they lost some funds in this incident, being able to recover more than 96% of the funds is still a relatively good result. This also reminds the majority of cryptocurrency users to be cautious in verifying the address when making transactions to avoid similar scams. #WBTC #区块链技术 #ETH分析
