💸 Big Theft: Hackers have stolen over $60 million in crypto in just six months.
🔍 How They Do It: They're using a code trick called Create2. This lets them sneak past security warnings when users accidentally approve harmful actions.
🛡️ Bypassing Security: Create2 is usually a helpful tool in Ethereum, used for setting up contracts. But hackers are twisting it to secretly make temporary wallets. When you click on a bad link or approve something suspicious, they get into your wallet.
📊 Stats & Facts: Research from ScamSniffer and SlowMist shows about 99,000 people lost $60 million. One group alone used Create2 to take $3 million from 11 people since August.
🔔 Stay Alert: Always double-check what you're approving in your crypto wallet. Watch out for strange links and offers!
