The Snooping Attack is a devious exploit that revolves around an attacker gaining access to your private key. Instead of directly unlocking your wallet funds through conventional means like Metamask, the attacker takes a more cunning approach. They leverage technologies like Node.js or other applications to tirelessly monitor your wallet activity. Specifically, their focus is on keeping a watchful eye on your token and cryptocurrency balances.

When there's an increase in any of your asset balances, the program kicks into action using the pilfered private key. This triggers a transfer function, swiftly siphoning off all the funds from the victim's account into the attacker's deposit account.
