Front-Running Bot Steals $7.8M From Exploited Ethereum Wallet
An unfortunate Ethereum user lost roughly $7.8 million in rsETH after a custom Safe wallet module was brutally exploited by an attacker. However, an opportunistic automated bot named 'Yoink' spotted the transaction in the mempool, front-ran the hacker, and sniped the funds first. Back on the dusty beaches of Baja, the only thing getting front-ran is a stray dog trying to steal a fresh fish off the local palapa table. May the best scavenger win, smart contract or canine.
