Hackers compromised Ethereum ‘s mailing list provider and sent phishing messages to the members attempting to drain their crypto funds.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hackers compromised Ethereum’s mailing list provider and on the night of June 23, they sent an email to the 35,794 addresses. The email was sent from the address \[email protected]’ and included a link to a malicious site running a crypto drainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This website had a crypto drainer running in the background, and if a user initiated their wallet and signed the transaction requested by their website their wallet would have been drained.” reads the incident notice<\/strong><\/a> published by Ethereum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message was crafted to trick the recipient into visiting a malicious website by announcing a collaboration with Lido DAO and offering a 6.8% annual percentage yield (APY) on staked Ethereum.<\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal security team quickly launched an investigation into the security breach. The team is notifying users via X and email and secured the infrastructure to prevent similar attacks in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
