According to Scam Sniffer, Solana phishing often involves direct transfers, exploiting weaknesses in transaction simulations.

Rainbow Drainer, <a href="https://drops.scamsniffer.io/post/over-4-million-stolen-by-multiple-solana-wallet-drainers/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">discovered</a> by Scam Sniffer on December 16, 2023, during an airdrop phishing incident, has stolen $2.14 million from 2,189 users.&nbsp;
The phishing scheme involved a fake NFT&lt;NFT airdrop where victims unwittingly signed a malicious contract, resulting in the theft of their assets.
The bad actor pilfered $464,817 in BONK, $173,382in ZERO, $165,932 in USDT, and $93,266 in USDC.
Moreover, a second drainer, the Node Drainer, began its operations through a Christmas phishing campaign. The malicious entity stole over $2 million from 1,762 users within two weeks.
“One address associated with Node Drainer converted stolen USDC to ETH via AllBridge, making over $1 million in profit,” Scam Sniffer said.
A link associated with Node Drainer was also found in a hack conducted by Mandiant. On December 25, 2023, alone, Node Drainer stole $638,644 in ANALOS tokens, $325,432 in BONK, and $93,987 in SILLY.
Usually, drainers use airdrops on phishing sites to lure unsuspecting users, who, upon entering the site, encounter a simulated failure message, leading them to confirm a transaction without visible details.&nbsp;
This deceptive tactic results in users losing their assets to theft.
Last year, these wallet drainers stole nearly $300 million from about 324,000 victims.

Meanwhile, according to Scam Sniffer, DuckDuckGo, a privacy-focused web browser, is being used to perpetuate a phishing scam.&nbsp;
The security firm <a href="https://x.com/realScamSniffer/status/1746297232260026489?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> an unnamed individual lost $12,000 to a deceptive 1inch scam advertisement on the platform.
