A would-be thief is laying the groundwork to intercept 3 million ARB tokens from the upcoming Arbitrum airdrop.
The crypto criminal sent ether to around 2,400 wallets in order to approve a contract that allows recipients to claim the airdrop, which is set for Thursday. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but this person also appears to have access to the wallets' private keys.
The approved contract will automatically claim the airdrop on behalf of the thief, bypassing any bots that might be set up to sweep funds that land in the wallets.
