Imagine a fast online store for digital money called cryptocurrency. Sometimes, sneaky computer programs try to trick people buying and selling there. One person lost almost all their money in a 'sandwich attack'!
- A person tried to swap some USDC (like digital dollars) for USDT (another digital dollar).
- A fast computer program saw this and took all the digital money before the person could swap it.
- The person lost almost all their $220,764!
- This is called a 'sandwich attack' because the program 'squeezes' the person's transaction.
| What happened | Amount |
|---|---|
| Money lost | $215,500 |
| Money left | $5,271 |
| Total transaction | $220,764 |
Experts aren't sure if it was just a bad luck or something worse. It shows how risky using these online stores can be. Always be careful!
