Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer says a malicious crypto-draining link can appear for some Google users when they search for Sony’s new blockchain.
A sponsored ad on Google that appears as a website link for Sony’s blockchain Soneium is actually a well-hidden crypto wallet drainer, according to Scam Sniffer.
The blockchain security firm said in an Oct. 22 X post that its team found an ad when Google Search for “someium” produced a sponsored link to a malicious website that included a wallet drainer.
“Searched for Soneium on Google, clicked a phishing ad,” it added. “Phishing always happens when you’re not paying attention, even if you mistakenly spell ‘soneium’ as 'someium.'”
