Hello folks,
I’ve never seen crypto drainers before, but this one seems to be bad. If successful, it’ll steal your crypto currency and NFT asset you have.
The thing is that this uses WordPress sites as a jumping in point, and it also uses popups. By default, popups are not allowed unless the site is trusted or part of the first domain.
In a way, I’m glad my sites don’t run popups anymore, I never liked the idea of those.
The Bleeping computer article I found is titled
Security
?
Hackers deploy crypto drainers on thousands of Wor which might be of interest to you.
If you have Crypto, feel free to read this one.

Not surprised to be honest.
It was bound to happen.
Popups are bad, I know I had a lot of extra analitics and google adds I never setup, probably happy I never did that.
Popups are just bad news anyway though there are uses for somethings but not many.
You never know where some of that info from a popup comes from, so many redirects.
But yeah, a solution is don’t use crypto and use normal legal currency.
Of course I am from a western country and while we are no saints at least we try, but who knows.
