Google mistakenly promoted a fake version of the Unichain website that spammed users with requests to drain their wallets.
As the buzz around crypto exchange Uniswap’s new Ethereum layer 2 builds, scammers have decided to take advantage of the situation to promote a fake website on Google that claims to promote the network.
The website, originally located at unlchalindefi[.]com, claimed to be the official site for Uniswap’s Unichain network. But in reality, it did not offer a new network with user-friendly apps.
Instead, it stole all of the user’s cryptocurrency and transferred it to the site’s developers, who were not affiliated with Uniswap at all, according to warnings presented in the Web3 wallet MetaMask.
