In my previous articles, I analyzed the issue with Alpha traps, and I didn't expect that just a few days later, there would be another unfortunate soul. Without further ado, here's the image.
From the image above, it can be seen that the ZKJ token worth 3700U was exchanged for a KOGE token worth only 2U. This situation cannot be described as anything but unfortunate; anyone who encounters it would feel the pain! Below, I will provide an image for a detailed analysis.
As can be seen above, the incident occurred in block 50860873, where the unfortunate soul and the attacker were in the same block, confirming it was indeed a trap. So why did this happen to him? From the image below, we can see that on June 3rd, he was still brushing the USDT trading pair, and just one day later, he encountered this issue. It’s likely he was influenced by the coin-to-coin brushing methods from KOLs on X, which led to this disaster.
Based on the previous communication between the victim and customer service, it should be a manually adjusted path, without choosing the optimal route. Additionally, the amount brushed in a single transaction was too large, which led to encountering the trap.
I think this method of brushing doesn't actually have any problems because I do it this way too. However, my single transaction amounts are all below one thousand dollars, and I haven't encountered this issue so far. But that doesn't mean we won't be so unlucky in the future.
In summary, this kind of activity still carries certain risks, so everyone must be cautious when operating.
