Scammers continue to target unsuspecting cryptocurrency users with phishing sites using wallet drainers.
Scammers have stolen $3 million worth of cryptocurrencies in 24 hours as they continue to use Google Ads to advertise malicious fake websites that use wallet draining software.
As reported by Cointelegraph on Dec. 21, scammers used MS Drainer to steal $59 million worth of cryptocurrency in 2023.
