1. Scam Sniffer: URL redirection attack detected against Pudgy Penguins users

On December 25, Scam Sniffer issued a security alert, and some users reported that visiting a Singapore news portal would be redirected to the fake URL of Pudgy Penguins. After investigation, it was found that this was part of a larger malicious advertising campaign. The principle of the attack is as follows: malicious ads are delivered through the Google advertising network; ads load suspicious code from Adloox; the code checks whether you have a web3 wallet; if detected, it redirects to the fake website of Pudgy Penguins. At present, the attack is only aimed at Pudgy Penguins users, but this method can be easily applied to other projects. Users are reminded to check the URL carefully. Precautions: Enable ad blockers; use separate browsers for encryption activities; carefully check the URL before connecting to the wallet; install browser security extensions.
