Over $500,000 in Assets Stolen, Attackers Forge Uniswap-Related ENS Names to Execute Arbitrage Bot Scam

Odaily Report: According to on-chain detective Specter, the attackers behind this campaign provided so-called arbitrage bot tutorials and code through YouTube videos, and guided victims to use a counterfeit Remix development interface to compile and deploy contracts. The attackers registered ENS names containing "Uniswap" to disguise the related addresses as legitimate incoming fund sources from DeFi activity, leading victims to believe that the deployed arbitrage bot was profiting through Uniswap. After victims injected their own assets into the contracts, the funds were transferred away by the attackers. The attackers currently appear to still be active and hold a substantial portion of the stolen funds in two addresses.
