NEW YORK, NY ā
A sophisticated, large-scale phishing campaign targeting the Phantom wallet ecosystem was officially identified on December 16, 2025, causing significant concern across the Solana community. $ZEUS
This operation primarily utilizes social engineering tactics, deploying deceptive links across social media and direct messages that promise exclusive "free airdrops" or "bonus tokens" to bait unsuspecting users.
Security researchers have discovered that these malicious links direct users to high-fidelity clones of popular decentralized applications (dApps). Once a user connects their wallet and inadvertently approves a fraudulent signature request, a "wallet drainer" script is executed, allowing attackers to instantly siphon all liquid assets and NFTs.
Experts are currently advising all digital asset holders to refrain from clicking on unverified URLs and to strictly avoid connecting wallets to any platform promising "free" rewards without multi-source verification. As the market enters a highly sensitive year-end phase, the security of digital infrastructure remains the top priority for both institutional and retail participants. Data suggests a surge in "drainer-as-a-service" activity specifically timed to exploit the increased trading volume and holiday-themed promotions typical of the December period.
