This guy's transferring small fractions of eth into seemingly random wallets and then completely draining them of their ethereum but leaving all the other tokens. Any idea what exploit he's using to get into people's wallets, or how to guard against the vulnerability? I can't find any sort of common thread between the cracked wallets

If it were a uniswap copycat phish, and you wanted to automate it, wouldn’t you program the script to just send eth, claim, swap, send.

Interesting.
I cannot imagine this being some kind of metamask exploit. My guess is, someone took the UNI distribution as an occasion to go through their phishing logs and your keys have been in there.
However by the timestamps it doesn't look scripted to me, as it's done over hours and days. Seems like someone's working on it.

OP, you got your keys stored on your machine in cleartext? Or restored MetaMask with them recently? Any way they could have stolen your key?

Do hw wallets only sign txs, not export the pk. Then is that why it’s specifically a metamask issue, cause otherwise it might be an exploit with uniswap

>>22744559
All this crypto stuff is based on the assumption that neither private keys nor proper passwords can be bruteforced. No.

If its malware related, it would have been easy to keylog the password or extract the unencrypted key from memory, when it was unlocked by the user. However that does not explain why there is a lot of 'dead' or inactive wallets in there, which seem like they haven't been unlocked recently.

I remain convinced you got phished. I'm sorry anon that's just how it be. They really do shit like take ads out on google/bing/etc. and bump their page to the top of the list. You click it because you think "oh it's uniswap, google wouldn't lie" and bam you go to a front end that looks exactly like Uni and you claim and you get fucked.

reeks of a phishing scam.
These wallets were untouched until they realized they had Uni in them. The owner went to google/bing, searched uni, got phished, game over.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone really has cracked MetaMask, but every time this happens it's proven that the owner got phished or leaked his private keys.

There's no way claiming tokens from uniswap could expose your private keys, unless there was some flaw with uniswap. If there was, then it would have been exploited so far. What I'm thinking is the thief went manually checking addresses that haven't moved/claimed their uni, and somehow found their private keys online: https://medium.com/@parzival.is.sweet/hacking-uniswaps-uni-airdrop-434543b37d9a
