In a recent phishing attack, an investor has suffered losses exceeding $101,000 in multiple cryptocurrencies across various blockchains.
Blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that the compromised address lost a significant amount of assets, including 237.8 billion OSAK tokens valued at $66,682 from the Osaka protocol, and 287 billion CAW tokens worth $26,490.
Additional losses include 213 HIGH tokens worth $938 and 426 USDT on the Ethereum network. The hackers also stole 3,000 USDC on the BNB Chain, along with 0.5 PENDLE and 0.1 WBTC on Arbitrum.
Despite these substantial losses, the affected address still holds about $7,000 in remaining crypto assets.
The attacker’s address, at last check, holds roughly $220,000 across several chains, indicating that the stolen funds remain under their control.
The attackers exploited the investor using a multi-call function, a method allowing multiple smart contract actions in one transaction.
This technique deceives users into signing seemingly legitimate transactions that hide malicious activities, enabling hackers to transfer funds without the victim’s consent.
The crypto sector has seen a series of phishing attacks this year, though their frequency has slightly decreased.
A recent scam involved an unidentified market participant losing over $674,000 in USDC.
Similar methods were used in an incident earlier this month, where a victim lost $145,000 in Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs.
