Pudgy Penguins PENGU: Alert For Users

PENGU: Security Alert Amid Surge Post Airdrop

A security alert has been issued over a malicious ad campaign that’s targeting Pudgy Penguins amid a huge rise in token price. Users have been reported to be directed to a fake website of Pudgy Penguins when trying to access a Singaporean news portal. If investigations are to be believed, this is a part of a major malicious advertising campaign, where the following steps are undertaken:

• Distribution of malicious ads via Google ad network which loads a code

• The code then checks for the presence of a web3 wallet

• On detection, the user is redirected to the fake website.

The attack is currently on Pudgy Penguins alone. However, other projects could also be targeted soon. This calls the users to be extra careful, verify URLs and use preventive security measures like the following:

• Enabling ad blockers

• Using a separate browser for crypto activities

• Thoroughly checking URLs prior to connecting wallets

• Installing browser security extensions.
