The dark forest law of Web3 has been validated once again, this time at a cost of 118,785 BUSD.


Just now, Scam Sniffer caught a disaster on the BSC chain.
The victim didn't click on phishing links but was caught by a seemingly harmless function call: increaseAllowance.
In this circle of 0s and 1s, hackers exploit not only code vulnerabilities but also linguistic traps. The word "increase" carries a deceptive tone of "just a little," but in reality, the permissions it grants to attackers are no different from handing over the house keys.
Even wallet interaction design has to take responsibility now. For such non-high-frequency, long-named functions, the UI often lacks sufficient red alerts.
Code is law, but function names are often lies. Don't trust those words that seem "harmless"; as soon as you sign your name, your asset control rights have already been transferred.
