DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"On May 3rd, a whale fell victim to an address poisoning attack, resulting in the loss of 1155 WBTC, valued at approximately $70 million."
"victim: 0x1E227979f0b5BC691a70DEAed2e0F39a6F538FD5
wrong address: 0xd9A1C3788D81257612E2581A6ea0aDa244853a91
correct address: 0xd9A1b0B1e1aE382DbDc898Ea68012FfcB2853a91"
"ALERT Are we mistaken, or has someone truly lost $68M worth of $WBTC? Our system has detected another address falling victim to address poisoning, losing 1155 $WBTC."
After receiving 0 ethereum from a wallet with a very similar address, a wrapped bitcoin holder made an unfortunate mistake in sending their funds to that wallet instead of their own. The funds were split up and transfered throughout the blockchain, and it doesn't seem clear whether any were recoverable.
