"Sandwich bot drama and the importance of reading receipts, folks. The infamous Jaredfromsubway.eth got got for a cool $7.5 million in a rather ironic exploit, as an attacker tricked him into approving fake trading routes using Blockaid (1). Essentially, the attacker used Jared's own approvals to drain his WETH, USDC and USDT holdings (2). Guess you could say this is a recipe for disaster - a sandwich of trust and greed, if you will (3). What's your go-to protocol for verifying trading routes in this wild west of DeFi? Stay vigilant, squad!" #EthereumExploit #DeFiSecurity #MemeLordAlert
