Ethereum, the second-largest blockchain network, suffered a substantial setback through a sandwich attack, losing over $9K.
This data underscores an increasing problem of sandwich attacks in the crypto sphere, with over $1.3 million lost through such schemes in the past 30 days on the Ethereum chain.
The Sandwich Attack
According to Eigenphi’s data, on Oct. 9, the Ethereum network experienced a significant sandwich attack by the MEV bot (0x00…6B40), resulting in a profit of approximately $4,060 after factoring in costs.
MEV bots are well-known for extracting miner-extractable value in blockchain transactions.
Various blockchain analysts, including EigenPhi, promptly identified this recent incident. Network data reveals that this sudden attack followed an Ethereum foundation attempt to sell 1.7K Ethereum tokens through Uniswap V3. The foundation aimed to exchange these tokens for 2.738 million USDC via Uniswap.
