What Is Infernal Drainer?

Inferno Drainer is a new phishing scam service provider which targets popular crypto projects on major blockchains. Scam Sniffer, a platform that identifies scams, recently linked the malicious software provider to thousands of scams resulting in the theft of several million dollars.

The security firm identified 4,888 victims who collectively lost over $5.9 million in crypto and NFTs. The scammer charges 20% to 30% of the stolen assets in exchange for their malicious software, which is used to create fraudulent websites.

The scammers targeted some of the most well-known brands in the crypto ecosystem, such as Pepe, Collab, Land, zkSync, MetaMask, and Nakamigos. In total, Inferno Drainer is reported to have created more than 700 phishing websites since March 27.

Infernal Drainer is not the only scam as a service platform in the crypto space. Earlier this year, Scam Sniffer identified another scam as a service platform called Venom Drainer. In April, the scammer drained $27 million from 15,000 victims, with the top five victims losing more than $14 million.
