#美联储降息 "Ghost Authorization" Scam Exposure: The Shocking Behind-the-Scenes Power Play of a Single Authorization



$SHIB $DOGE $PEPE Holders, this time you really need to pay close attention. Recently, the industry uncovered a massive and prolonged authorization scam that lasted 458 days—called "Ghost Authorization." The name sounds intimidating, but it’s just a few old tricks, though they can really cause harm.

The hackers' tactics are as follows: they first set up a fake airdrop website, then trick you into signing a "permanent authorization" transaction. It sounds harmless, but this is just the beginning of the trap—once the authorization takes effect, the hackers are not in a rush to act. They wait, until you transfer assets into your wallet, then instantly trigger the authorization to siphon off your funds.

The numbers are alarming: just this month, 23 users have been scammed, with the most outrageous loss reaching $908,000. These malicious addresses are also linked to the notorious vampire wallet "pink-drainer.eth."

What’s the scariest part? **The risk of delayed authorization**. Hackers have far more patience than you imagine; they can lurk in your wallet for months, then strike at a moment when you’re completely unprepared.

How to protect yourself? Remember these tips: don’t click on links from unknown sources, refuse unfamiliar authorization requests outright, and regularly check which addresses have been authorized in your wallet. It’s not paranoia; it’s real self-protection.
