"From 0x4fcFdda0...a7227d75c To Fake_Phishing324039 For 1,681.63256625 $24,366.86 ChainLink To... (LINK)"

 

"From 0x4fcFdda0...a7227d75c To 0x82AE0340...31c67C636 For 7,927.69638375 $114,872.32 ChainLink To... (LINK)"

 

"The drainer would then check the minimum wallet value. If the assets amounted to less than $100, a transaction was not initiated until the wallet was recharged. Once a sufficient amount was available, the drainer selected the victim’s most valuable and easiest to transfer assets and initialized a transaction. If the victim confirmed the transfer manually, their assets were sent to criminals’ addresses and split 20/80 between the developer and the customer."

 

"The reason the scam service broke the record as regards the amount of stolen money was the mass nature of its activity. The multichain drainer siphoned assets across many crypto networks and its customers attacked users through compromised social media accounts and promotion campaigns more aggressively than all its predecessors: there were more than 134,000 victims. By comparison, the second most notable drainer, called MS Drainer, affected half as many victims."
