MEV Bot Jaredfromsubway.eth Drained for $7.5M in Rare Exploitation

The notorious 'sandwich attack' bot Jaredfromsubway.eth has been drained for over $7.5 million after an attacker exploited its automated systems.

According to Blockaid, the incident occurred on Saturday and resulted from attacker-controlled contracts tricking Jaredfromsubway.eth's MEV execution system into granting token approvals that were later used to drain funds.

This is a rare comeuppance for MEV bots like Jaredfromsubway.eth, which are automated programs that monitor unconfirmed transactions on blockchain networks and manipulate their order to extract profit, often referred to as an 'invisible tax' on DeFi users.

Cointelegraph Research previously found that sandwich attacks on Ethereum have resulted in about $60 million in annual losses for traders, with roughly 70% of them associated with Jaredfromsubway.eth between November 2024 and October 2025, a period during which there were 60,000 to 90,000 sandwich attacks per month.
