Scam Sniffer: URL redirection attack against Puggy Penguins users detected

On December 25, Scam Sniffer issued a security alert. Some users reported that visiting a Singapore news portal would be redirected to the fake website of Puggy Penguins. Investigation showed that this was part of a larger malicious advertising campaign. The attack works as follows: Malicious ads are served through the Google Ad Network; ads load suspicious code from Adloox; code checks to see if you have a web3 wallet; and if detected, it is redirected to Pudgy Penguins 'fake website. Currently, the attack only targets Pudgy Penguins users, but this method can easily be applied to other projects, reminding users to be sure to check URLs carefully. Precautions: Enable ad-blockers; use a separate browser for encryption activities; double-check URLs before connecting to your wallet; install browser security extensions.
