· Online phishing tool crimes emerge in an endless stream

The phishing tool Inferno Drainer, which is popular among online phishing criminals, announced yesterday that it will cease operations, claiming to have stolen more than 80 million US dollars. Meanwhile, other Pink and Venom Drainers that are still providing services have helped steal more than $12 million and $27 million respectively, and are even continuing to update their services.

Phishing crime tool Inferno Drainer lights out

On November 27, Inferno Drainer announced through Telegram that it would permanently shut down its services, saying: "It's time for us to move on."

The team also stated that all files and servers related to Inferno Drainer will not be deleted or destroyed. They will continue to operate until all partners can smoothly transition to the new other services:

"Inferno Drainer has come a long way with you, and we sincerely thank you for your cooperation with us. However, nothing is forever, and we hope you can remember us as the best fishing tool (drainer) ever and successfully help you make money."

Inferno Drainer has stolen more than $70 million

According to Web3 fraud monitoring platform Scam Sniffer, Inferno Drainer was first launched in February this year, mainly targeting Arbitrum, Polygon and more than 220 protocols and NFT teams on the BSC chain to establish counterfeit websites, and use airdrop information to trick users into clicking on links and signing malicious contracts to steal wallet assets.

Although Inferno Drainer claims to have stolen more than $80 million in assets since its inception, Dune data shows that the total amount of theft is currently about $70 million among more than 100,000 victims.

Phishing tool crimes continue to emerge

In March this year, another notorious phishing tool Monkey Drainer also announced that it would stop its service, having stolen more than $13 million since the end of last year.

Subsequently, other phishing products including Pink, Pussy, Venom and Inferno Drainer also emerged in large numbers, causing the number of malicious link phishing incidents and the scale of losses to reach an unprecedented peak at the time.

It is reported that these malicious phishing tool teams provide multiple services, allowing attackers to purchase tokens from them to steal code, and to distribute phishing website links containing the above programs to steal user assets.

On the other hand, would-be attackers can also hand over the entire operation to the malicious phishing tool team, which will take care of everything from creating counterfeit websites, marketing promotion to publishing phishing links, and the team will charge 20% to 30% of the commission based on the final amount of theft.

Currently, the above malicious phishing tools are still in operation, and some tools are still being updated to help criminals steal assets from more wallets. Users still need to pay more attention.
