PANews reported on May 21 that according to a screenshot posted by Web3 security researcher @Plumferno on the X platform, the multi-chain fraud service provider Inferno Drainer announced in its community that it was reopening to the public, and said that after more than 6 months of private operation, it now has new employees, new ways of working, new support and new features, and during this period, it stole $125 million for its customers, bringing its total theft to more than $250 million. Previously, Inferno Drainer announced its closure at the end of November last year, claiming that the amount stolen was more than $80 million.
@Plumferno said: “This is not good news, in case someone doesn’t know about this… (yeah, I know they never really shut down, so I know a lot of people won’t be surprised at all).” Web3 anti-scam platform Scam Sniffer commented: “This also explains why phishing sites using Inferno have recently surged after the hacker scam gang Pink Drainer announced its withdrawal.”
