"Group-IB Uncovers 16,000 Malicious Domains Used in Inferno Drainer Crypto Scam"
A new report from Group-IB details the discovery of over 16,000 malicious domains created during the Inferno Drainer cryptocurrency scam last year. The Inferno Drainer group has been linked to the theft of more than $80 million in digital assets. Inferno Drainer targeted about 100 cryptocurrency brands using thousands of unique domains. The scam involved stealing the digital assets of victims who were duped into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to fake websites and authorizing transactions. For affiliates, the group operated similarly to a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), providing tools that other hackers could use in exchange for a cut. Inferno Drainer provided a customer panel that enabled the customization of malware features. The panel also displayed information such as the number of victims who had connected their wallets to a specific phishing website, the number of confirmed transactions, and the value of stolen assets. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the Inferno Drainer cryptocurrency scam.
