Attackers created Uniswap sites for stealing cryptocurrencies and promote them in Google

Several fake copies of the UNISWAP decentralized exchange appeared on the network, with which attackers https://gagarin.news/ abduct cryptocurrencies. Fraudulent sites are moving through Google advertising.

Initially, one of Forklog readers reported the problem.

Several sites are indeed an almost complete copy of the original Uniswap (Uniswap.Org).

The main difference can be found when trying to exchange cryptocurrencies and connecting the wallet.

On the original site, the platform either transfers users to the website of the manufacturer of the wallet, or offers to use the QR code.

Fake sites give an error when choosing any of the wallets and suggest introducing a mnemonic phrase or private key.

Some have already suffered from the actions of the attackers. In one of the Telegram channels, the user said that he lost 1.14 ETN.

At the time of writing, when searching for Google, fake sites are still advertised on the request of “Uniswap”.

Recall that in May the researchers found expansion 22 in the Google Chrome 22 browser, pretending to be official products of cryptocurrency wallet developers.
