Notorious MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.eth drained of $7.5 million in honeypot attack

The MEV bot responsible for 70% of sandwich attacks on Ethereum was itself exploited for $7.5 million after an attacker lured it with fake token contracts designed to look like profitable trades.

• The attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts mimicking WETH, USDC and USDT over several weeks to bait the bot's automated systems.
• Jaredfromsubway.eth was responsible for roughly 70% of all sandwich attacks on Ethereum between November 2024 and October 2025.
• Blockaid described it as a 'counter-MEV honeypot attack' targeting the bot's trust-minimized decision-making logic.
• Some stolen funds have already been sent to crypto mixing service Tornado Cash, according to onchain data.
