A user lost $431,000 in three transactions while swapping 442,000 USDC for USDT on Uniswap.
The transactions appeared to be a result of a sandwich attack, commonly observed on the Ethereum network.
The swapping wallets were potentially targeted by a maximum extractable value (MEV) bot, which manipulated the swap rates by front- and back-running the transactions.
The MEV bot was able to profit over $200,000 by back-running the victim's swap orders.
