Deep Tide TechFlow news, December 25, Scam Sniffer issued a security alert, with users reporting that visiting a certain Singapore news portal would redirect to a fake URL for Pudgy Penguins. Investigations show this is part of a larger malicious advertising campaign. The mechanism of the attack is as follows:

  1. Malicious ads are delivered through the Google ad network

  2. Ads load suspicious code from Adloox

  3. Code checks if you have a web3 wallet

  4. If detected, redirect to a fake website named pudqypenguin.

Currently, the attack only targets Pudgy Penguins users, but this method can easily be applied to other projects. Users are reminded to carefully check URLs.
