🏛️ 🌐 LARGE-SCALE PHISHING CAMPAIGN: HACKERS TAKE OVER GOOGLE ADS, IMPERSONATING UNISWAP, AND STEAL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF USD!
A high-tech phishing campaign has been uncovered as hackers exploited Google Ads to dominate search rankings, tricking Uniswap users into configuring their wallets.
🔍 Alarming figures released by SEALs:
📍 According to a report from the "b-block" account, the hacker's wallet is currently containing at least 146 ETH (equivalent to over $306,000). The total assets stolen in this Uniswap case alone have exceeded $400,000.
📍 The Crypto Security Alliance (SEAL) reported that in the latter half of March alone, malicious ads siphoned off $1.27 million from users. SEAL had to intervene to block over 356 fraudulent Google Ads links in the past year.
📍 Uniswap was the most targeted protocol with 144 fake links (41%). Following closely behind were Morpho Finance (110 links) and PancakeSwap (23 links).
To avoid this, users should be cautious of sponsored/advertised links when searching for projects on Google. After identifying a legitimate link, bookmark it and use it to avoid repeated searches.
