Web3 scam prevention security platform Scam Sniffer announced on the 25th (local time) via X (formerly Twitter) that "a user reported being redirected to a fake Fuzzy Penguin (PENGU) website." They explained, "The attacker uses malicious ads to check if the user has a Web3 wallet, and if confirmed, directs them to the fake website as part of the attack."
