Hey @farcaster fam Just noticed some strange transactions on my Farcaster in app wallet. Apparently there's a drainer targeting peoples tokens in the Farcaster wallet. The person has been trying to move USDC from my wallet but unfortunately I have no USDC left for the drainer to move. This is particularly surprising cos I have not exported this wallet to any other app. I only use it on Farcaster and so the only interaction it has with other apps is via the @farcaster mini apps. Even though I suffered no loss from this drainer as at the time of posting this, a look through the base address of the drainer on basescan shows many wallets have been drained of valuable assets. Anyone who has a solution on how to stop this drainer from my wallet should kindly let me know in the comments. cc: @ted @dwr.eth @bitfloorsghost.eth @alitiknazoglu @consciousessay @linda @babasleeky

These are the transaction hashes for the 4 attempts by the drainer to withdraw USDC from my wallet 0xb960aa25d69e6c57049714540682f30677afeabfdcc4255cef5e8afdcca36f9b 0x5dc095e0177f9850017f3933ee5ccd0b6c7771d054e4aa79f09c2e423d465550 0xf2681fd989f0e85915e1910004d6a8009b129edfbe8977fadfd47d3a366ad7bc 0x88838613c76ed12f4c29cba7743ddb98bcbf4baa1b8db327fd08b72a09e05387

These are fake events that try to trick a user into thinking these were real txns (so user might think it's a real address they interacted with in the past and potentially accidentally send funds to it). More info here if helpful. Basically your funds aren't being drained https://cointelegraph.com/news/stablecoin-scam-zero-transfer-phishing-2-5m-loss

This is very helpful @linda. Basically my wallet has been poisoned and I have to be careful when moving funds in and out of the wallet...

Someone is trying to attack you and others with fake transactions (like sending fake phishing emails where your email itself is not compromised but you still need to be careful). @slokh is pushing out a change that will filter these out on Farcaster wallet side but you should still be careful in general when interacting with any block explorer copying or sending to addresses (always double check)
