Security company MistTrack issued an emergency alert, pointing out a complex phishing campaign using Google ads. Scammers purchase search ads to impersonate legitimate crypto services, redirecting users to malicious websites aimed at stealing funds through fraudulent transaction approvals.
This attack vector highlights the increasingly severe challenges of Web3 security, with scammers increasingly targeting mainstream advertising platforms. According to Jinse Finance, the operation has already victimized multiple users who inadvertently signed harmful smart contracts.
Industry analysts note that this strategy represents an evolution from traditional wallet theft schemes, leveraging paid search positions instead of Discord or Telegram scams. Security teams recommend strictly verifying all target URLs, even if they appear at the top of search results.
