"I Signed It 16 Months Ago!" — $908K Gone
in a Silent Drain Scam 💀
Just witnessed one of the craziest wallet
drain cases in a while — and it hits hard.
A crypto user just lost $908,000 worth of
tokens, and here’s the kicker:
The transaction that drained their wallet? It
was signed over 16 months ago.
Yeah, you read that right.
This wasn’t a typical phishing scam or a
recent hack — it was a "silent drain",
triggered by an old approval the user forgot
even existed.
👉 They probably signed a smart contract
back then that gave unlimited token
allowance to a malicious dApp — and it just
sat there, waiting.
The attacker didn’t need to exploit anything
new. They simply waited… until the wallet
was full enough to be worth the gas.
🧠 Takeaway:
Always revoke old token approvals you’re
not using.
Use tools like Revoke.cash regularly.
Don’t trust — verify everything you sign, even
the small stuff.
Stay sharp. One signature can cost you your
entire bag —
even over a year later.
