PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable. The industry has been hit by the largest liquidation event in history, triggering a market crash. Many people were forced to liquidate their positions, and users are questioning issues such as automatic liquidation (ADL), negative equity, and compensation. He stated that he always provides thorough answers to all questions, encourages questions, and is responsible to users. Ferrante pointed out two recent waves of FUD: one was the issue of approximately 40 users depositing funds without settling their negative equity. While this issue is real and easily resolvable, it has been misinterpreted and disseminated; the other was the widespread dissemination of inappropriate posts from Backpack's Chinese account, X, which is operated by local personnel and does not represent the company's position. He acknowledged that the industry has exposed serious structural flaws in the market. Backpack's biggest problem is a lack of liquidity, and its weakness has always been the lack of its own in-house market maker. While all exchanges require forced liquidation and automatic liquidation mechanisms, Backpack should also minimize the occurrence of such incidents. There are various solutions to this problem, including circuit breakers and vaults. Ferrante emphasized that exchanges, as critical systems in the cryptocurrency space, deserve scrutiny, and that FUD can be an opportunity to reveal weaknesses as well as strengths.PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable.

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
