None of the last 50 transactions were from 0xff2B5d4114190bB6447Dbae098096Fd274029535 and to 0xff2B5d4114190bB6447Dbae098096Fd274029535. So, how?<p>And what's the significance of this? I'm genuinely puzzled.

I had the same issue. I'm using Ganache UI default mnemonic. I suppose anyone with the same mnemonic can access the default addresses.

It all came from the MetaMask faucet <a href="https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x81b7e08f65bdf5648606c89998a9cc8164397647" rel="nofollow">https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x81b7e08f65bdf5648606c...</a> through numerous intermediary addresses (maybe the faucet limits the amount of ETH it will send to the same address, I'm not sure).<p>Possibly someone trying to attack the testnet. Or someone is bored and wants to see how much testnet ether they can accumulate.

This is just a page with transactions. Where is the "news" part that makes this interesting to the wider audience?

I think the significance is the from accounts being different and the number of ether the account has.<p>There's some hack like using the same mnemonic or something that's allowing them to do this.
