Hundreds of long-term dormant Ethereum addresses were stolen for unknown reasons
According to crypto analyst Wazzz, hundreds of wallets, many of which have been dormant for more than seven years, were cleared by the same address on the ETH main network. Aragon team member @TheTakenUser also posted a post confirming that funds in his wallet had been transferred for unknown reasons. At present, the cause of this incident has not yet been ascertained. Community analysis believes that it was caused by the leakage of old mnemonics, private keys or LastPass and other storage during 2017-2020 or previous dangerous authorizations, rather than a new smart contract vulnerability.
