Several outlets report that the Ethereum MEV trading bot known as “JaredFromSubway” has been hit after an attacker manipulated how the bot detects profitable opportunities. Decrypt says the bot sustains a loss of about $7.5 million, describing the incident as occurring over the weekend and noting that the bot’s logic became exposed through a series of transactions. Bleeping Computer reports a larger figure, stating the bot suffers a $15 million loss after an attacker interferes with the opportunity-detection component by creating what it characterizes as fake trading opportunities. Both accounts describe the same general mechanism: an adversary leverages transaction activity to influence the bot’s decision-making, leading the bot to execute or react in ways that result in substantial financial loss. The reports do not provide detailed technical transaction traces in the provided excerpts, nor do they describe any confirmed recovery of funds. Decrypt also says the bot’s operator threatens legal action following the loss. Overall, the incident highlights how MEV bots can be vulnerable when their profitability detection logic is targeted or spoofed.
