A hacker found a way to drain $7.8M from an Ethereum wallet. Then another bot hacked the hacker before the hacker could even take out the funds. The attacker found a bad permission setup in a Safe wallet holding around 2,900 rsETH. The exploit worked. But he made one mistake: He sent the transaction through Ethereum's public mempool. A bot called Yoink saw the pending transaction, copied the exploit and paid about $47,000 to get its transaction processed first. The hacker's transaction came afterwards and failed because the money was already gone. Yoink walked away with roughly 2,882 rsETH worth $7.8M. The original hacker got basically nothing from the main exploit. But there's another funny part. Yoink sold 17.63 rsETH for 18.95 ETH during the transaction. Then immediately sent 18.93 ETH to the block builder to win the race. So the bot basically spent almost the entire first chunk of stolen money just to make sure it could steal the remaining millions before the actual hacker.
