Jaredfromsubway.eth, a well-known MEV bot long active on the Ethereum network, has been attacked by hackers exploiting a vulnerability in its automated execution system, resulting in losses exceeding $7.5 million.Security firm Blockaid stated that the incident was not a traditional phishing attack or smart contract vulnerability, but rather an "anti-MEV honeypot attack" specifically targeting the decision-making logic of the MEV bot. Over several weeks, the attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts and false liquidity pools, masquerading as assets such as WETH, USDC, and USDT, luring the bot into executing seemingly profitable trades and authorizing auxiliary contracts controlled by the attacker.Ultimately, in a single transaction, the attacker invoked all backdoor permissions to transfer the ETH, USDC, and USDT held by the bot's address. Data shows that between November 2024 and October 2025, the Ethereum network experienced approximately 60,000 to 90,000 sandwich attacks per month, with about 70% of them linked to Jaredfromsubway.eth.
