According to Cointelegraph, phishing ads impersonating the decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap have appeared in Google search results, enabling attackers to steal at least $400,000. On-chain analyst b-block stated that the associated counterfeit websites are draining funds from multiple wallets; the implicated addresses currently hold a combined total of 146 ETH—worth approximately $306,000 at press time. Security Alliance (SEAL) noted that such fraudulent Google ads are a common source of phishing attacks, with attackers either purchasing ad placements or compromising legitimate advertising accounts to impersonate popular crypto protocols in sponsored search results. SEAL also reported that between March 13 and March 30, these attacks resulted in total losses amounting to $1.27 million.
