PANews reported on January 3 that, according to Scam Sniffer monitoring, a user had 12 Aave Ethereum LBTC (aEthLBTC) stolen after signing a malicious "permission" signature, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.08 million. SlowMist's Yu Xian stated that the phishing group involved in this attack was not mainstream; they quickly converted the phishing proceeds into ETH and laundered the money through Tornado Cash.
