PEPE investors<\/a> are at risk of losing their coins following a recent security incident. On-chain security firm Blockaid drew attention to a front-end attack on the meme coin\u2019s website that could potentially drain users\u2019 funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PEPE Investors At Risk With Website Front-End Attack<\/h2>\n

In an X post<\/a>, Blockaid stated that its system identified a front-end attack on PEPE\u2019s website. The security firm further revealed that the site contains a code of Inferno Drainer. This malware is known to be used to automatically drain users\u2019 wallets<\/a>, which puts holders at risk of losing their coins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Inferno Drainer malware is said to redirect visitors on the website to a fake portal, where they risk clicking phishing links<\/a> that are designed to drain their wallets. As such, the security firm advised investors and community members to avoid the website until the issue is resolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"PEPE\"<\/p>\n

Blockaid\u2019s Threat Intelligence Team also told Cointelegraph<\/a> that the Inferno Drainer code detected on the website matched a known drainer family they regularly identify. Meanwhile, the team has yet to make a statement on their official X platform regarding the malware.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, the website on the PEPE X platform redirects to a fake website (pepedotvip) instead of the original site (pepedotcom). The website also promotes a PEPE derivative<\/a>, which is believed to be a rug coin. The price remained steady amid reports of the hack, climbing as high as 4% yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the meme coin price has since retraced as part of a broader crypto market correction led by Bitcoin. The third-largest meme coin by market cap is also down over 75% year-to-date (YTD) thanks to the recent crypto market crash<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rise In Inferno Drainer Attacks<\/h2>\n

The PEPE front-end isn\u2019t the first to fall victim to an Inferno Drainer attack this year. Earlier in the year, Blockaid had identified that CoinMarketCap\u2019s frontend<\/a> was compromised by what appeared to be an Inferno Drainer. Back then, the CoinMarketCap website displayed a pop-up prompting users to verify their wallets, which ultimately drained their funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BNB Chain X account<\/a> was also a victim of this Inferno Drainer in October. The hackers posted links that directed users to websites that employed the Inferno Drainer toolkit. This incident resulted in a total loss of around $8,000 for users, which the BNB Chain promised to reimburse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blockaid last year revealed<\/a> that the Inferno Drainer group stole $80 million from Web3 users by exploiting older, malicious decentralized applications. This kind of scam is also said to have tripled last year, resulting in significant losses for investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the meme coin price is trading at around $0.000004697, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data<\/a> from CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n
