The sandwich attack bot run by JaredfromSubway.eth has accumulated 117,007 ETH (about $295 million) since March 2023. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts to pilfer at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins from the bot's automated trading logic, then moved the funds to Tornado Cash. The theft remains unrecovered. Sandwich attacks are a type of maximal extractable value (MEV) where a bot watches Ethereum's public mempool for large pending orders, buys ahead of the target trade, and sells after the price is pushed up. The bot's main contract had received 117,007 ETH as of Aug. 28. MEV-Boost block construction is heavily concentrated: relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute relays together forwarded around 85% to 88% of relevant blocks in a 24-hour window, with Titan's builder independently assembling 50.3%. Monthly extraction from sandwich attacks has declined from about $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Source: Bitcoin.com News via Odaily)
A sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth roughly $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts to exploit the bot's automated trading logic, stealing at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins. The funds were moved to Tornado Cash and have not been recovered.
Sandwich attacks are a form of maximal extractable value (MEV). The bot monitors large pending transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of a target trade, then sells after the trade pushes the price up, capturing the spread.
The bot's main contract had received 117,007 ETH as of Aug. 28. MEV-Boost block building is concentrated among a few players: relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay and bloXroute relays forwarded roughly 85% to 88% of relevant blocks in a 24-hour window, while Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of blocks. Monthly extraction from sandwich attacks has dropped from about $10 million at the end of 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)
