The wallet drainer scam involves luring users into fake websites and prompting them to link their crypto wallets and eventually draining all funds.
A number of advertisements on Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan have been identified as part of a major phishing campaign that is actively targeting Etherscan users.
On April 8, X community member McBiblets identified some advertisements on Etherscan as wallet drainers, warning users against being redirected to phishing websites when clicking on such advertisements.
Further investigations revealed that the phishing advertisements appearing on Etherscan were also displayed on various known phishing websites.
