User loses $1.08M in Aave LBTC (aEthLBTC) to a malicious permit signature
A user lost about 12 aEthLBTC (Aave's wrapped LBTC position on Ethereum), worth about $1.08 million, after signing a malicious permit signature, Scam Sniffer flagged on 3 January 2026. The thieves swapped the funds to ETH and sent them through Tornado Cash; SlowMist's founder said the group was not one of the mainstream drainer crews. Holders of Aave aTokens and other permit-enabled tokens should check what they sign and revoke unknown spenders.
