- Jaredfromsubway.eth, the bot responsible for 70% of Ethereum sandwich attacks, just got sandwiched. It approved its own $7.5M drain because it trusted a fake trading route. The attacker didn’t hack keys; they exploited ERC-20 allowances, leaving permissions active to siphon WETH and stablecoins. Even Tornado Cash couldn’t save the reputation here. This is what happens when you automate greed without auditing the counterparty. The bot thought it was hunting profits; it was actually feeding the meat wallet. A classic case of aggressive passive income turning into aggressive passive loss. Don’t let your smart contracts sign their own death warrant. Check your approvals, or become the victim of your own efficiency.
