Sandwich Bot Jaredfromsubway.eth Exploited for $7.5 Million
The bot, responsible for 70% of Ethereum sandwich attacks from Nov 2024 to Oct 2025, lost $7.5M in an exploit.
The notorious MEV bot known as Jaredfromsubway.eth, which conducted the majority of sandwich attacks on Ethereum over the past year, has itself been exploited for approximately $7.5 million.
Key Details
- The bot accounted for 70% of sandwich attacks on Ethereum between November 2024 and October 2025.
- The exploit drained roughly $7.5 million from the bot's smart contracts.
- The exact method of the exploit has not been publicly disclosed as of yet.
Sandwich attacks are a form of maximal extractable value (MEV) strategy where a bot places transactions before and after a user's trade to profit from price slippage. Jaredfromsubway.eth had become the most active such bot on Ethereum before the exploit.
This incident highlights the risks even sophisticated MEV operators face, as their own code can contain vulnerabilities that lead to substantial losses.
