According to CryptoPotato, the Angel Drainer phishing gang stole more than $400,000 from 128 crypto wallets through new tactics. A recent analysis revealed that this notorious entity utilizes Etherscan’s verification tools to mask the malicious nature of smart contracts. The well-known blockchain security company Blockaid disclosed on X (formerly Twitter) that the attack began at 6:40 am on February 12, 2024. Angel Drainer deployed a malicious Safe vault contract against the Safe Vault contract, causing the user to inadvertently authorize a "Permit2" transaction on the compromised contract, thereby stealing $403,000. Blockaid emphasized that the attack did not directly target Safe and had a minor impact on its user base. The security company quickly notified Safe of the attack and actively participated in mitigating any possible further damage. In the past year, the well-known Web3 anti-fraud platform Scam Sniffer recorded cases of wallet drainers stealing more than $295 million in assets from approximately 324,000 people. While similar gangs like Inferno Drainer have been shut down, the existence of Angel Drainer exposed a disturbing trend, with the gang stealing more than $25 million from nearly 35,000 wallets in just one year since its inception.
