What happened
Attackers deployed a malicious phishing contract on BSC that impersonated the ZEROBASE frontend, tricking users into authorizing USDT transfers. The fake contract collected token approvals, then drained hundreds of connected wallets of approximately $250K total, with one user losing $123K.
In review: sources disagree on the loss.
