A long-inactive PancakeSwap liquidity provider lost about $2.96 million after signing a malicious EIP-7702 approval, according to monitoring by Specter. The attacker removed roughly $1.48 million in BSC-USD liquidity and another $1.48 million in BUSD liquidity that had been supplied by the victim. Specter said the attacker then swapped the BUSD portion into ETH. Of the stolen funds, about $1.46 million has already been deposited into Tornado Cash, while around $1.48 million in USDT remains in the attacker-controlled address. The incident centers on a malicious authorization and involved assets previously deployed on PancakeSwap as liquidity.
