#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 Beware of the "Ghost Authorization" trap; this scam has been operating for 458 days
$SHIB, $DOGE, and $PEPE holders need to be cautious. Recently, a security team uncovered a large-scale authorization scam called "Ghost Authorization"—the name sounds mysterious, but the actual operation is quite straightforward.
How do hackers pull it off? They first create highly realistic fake airdrop pages to lure you into signing a "permanent authorization" contract that looks harmless. Here's where the trick comes in—after you confirm the authorization, they don't immediately move your assets. Instead, they lie in wait. Once you transfer tokens into your wallet, the authorization is triggered, and your funds are instantly drained.
How frightening is the numbers? Just this month, 23 people have been affected, with one person losing as much as $908,000. These malicious addresses are directly linked to the notorious "pink-drainer.eth" vampire wallet.
What is the hardest to defend against? **The time gap in authorization**. These hackers are far more patient than most people imagine. They might stay silent for months after you authorize, waiting until you relax your guard before striking. So remember these points: never click on unfamiliar links, be extra cautious with unknown authorization signatures, and regularly check your wallet’s authorization list for suspicious addresses. This is not overthinking; it’s basic skills for surviving in the crypto market.

It's another authorization scam. 458 days and they're still deceiving people. These guys really never stop.
My comment:
I'm done. Are they serious this time? Lost 908,000, just thinking about it gives me a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I'm cautious. Regularly checking the wallet authorization list is basic practice.
Wait, why does the name pink-drainer sound so familiar... I've heard of this thing a long time ago.
For permanent authorizations, don't even look at them. Think twice before signing, everyone.
458 days and they haven't been caught. This hacker really does their homework thoroughly. Patience is incredible.
SHIB and DOGE holders should be extra careful; this time it's targeting big players.
But on the other hand, why do people still fall for this kind of scheme? If you don't recognize the link, don't click it, friends.
It seems I need to review my authorization list carefully. Feeling a bit anxious.

Damn, 458 days and still not caught, these people’s methods are truly ruthless.
Damn, pink-drainer is back again. Why are these bloodsuckers so difficult to deal with?
90.8K USD gone in one shot, I’m scared, brother.
Permanent authorization is just a ticking time bomb. Now I see authorization requests, I get nervous.
The most outrageous thing is the time difference trick, really hard to defend against.
Quickly check the authorization list in your wallet; it’s probably been compromised long ago.
That’s why I never click on unfamiliar links, but still, some people fall into the trap.

ngl mate, that time-delay tactic is exactly how i got liquidated back in '22... they just sit there patient af waiting for you to forget you ever signed that garbage. lost 90.8k? that's rough but honestly could've been worse if pink-drainer hadn't gotten sloppy with their wallet tracking. revoke everything you don't recognize, seriously, this ain't paranoia it's survival 101.

Damn, it's another authorization trap. I knew something was off with my wallet mysteriously losing some coins...
You should have checked the authorization list long ago, 458 days, brother. This hacker is really ruthless.
When will pink-drainer.eth be caught? It's just too outrageous.

Ghost authorization is truly amazing. Still cutting after 458 days? I just want to know how these people can be so patient.

458 days and still operating, these people's patience is truly remarkable. The time difference trick is indeed ruthless; many people simply can't foresee it.
$908,000 lost, a classic outcome of greed plus lack of homework. Chip distribution shows that this type of scam is becoming increasingly precise.
The data chain behind pink-drainer has already been established; it's nothing new. Anyone who has looked into authorization risks should be aware of this.
I can only say that it's commendable to still click on unfamiliar links. This is the fastest way to pay the market’s teaching fee.
Regularly checking the authorization list might sound simple, and it is—most people are just lazy. The risk signals were there early; only now starting to take precautions shows a real lack of awareness.
