Web3 Crypto Malware: Angel Drainer – From Phishing Sites to Malicious Injections
Since January 2024, there has been a notable surge in attacks by a novel form of website malware targeting Web3 and cryptocurrency assets. This malware, spread across multiple campaigns, uses crypto drainers to steal and redistribute assets from compromised wallets. The strategy involves either injecting drainers directly into compromised websites or redirecting site visitors to Web3 phishing sites that contain drainers.
This recent surge in malicious activity is marked by the use of crypto drainers like Angel Drainer, which has been implicated in recent security breaches including the December incident with Ledger Connect Kit.
