Google's false encryption ads continue unabated, with a phishing site impersonating Uniswap stealing another $400,000

On-chain analyst "b-block" posted on social media on Monday that a counterfeit Uniswap website is stealing funds from multiple wallets, with assets held by the scammers valued at over $400,000. Stacy Muur, founder of the Web3 marketing agency Green Dots, shared screenshots of false sponsored results from search engines, criticizing Google for ignoring this issue for years, leading to fake links ranking above real ones, resulting in users continuously being scammed.According to Etherscan data, the two flagged addresses hold a total of about 146 ETH, valued at approximately $306,000. DeFiLlama pointed out that fake ads on Google are a common source of phishing attacks. The crypto nonprofit organization Security Alliance (SEAL) reported in April that phishing activities on Google searches significantly increased in March, with attackers deploying highly deceptive fake ads by paying for or hijacking legitimate ad accounts, using seemingly real URLs to bypass Google's automatic checks, and loading malicious payloads through hidden iframes.SEAL has blocked over 356 malicious ad links and stated that the volume of Google ads deployed by attackers has remained stable for over a year, with no slowdown in attack activities. Reports indicate that between March 13 and 30 alone, a total of $1.27 million was stolen. Additionally, earlier this month, there were malicious ad campaigns targeting Mac users that utilized Google ads and the AI chatbot Claude for shared chats. Malwarebytes also reported that Facebook is similarly a hotspot for fake ads and scams.

Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau has cracked a series of smuggling cases involving virtual currency mining machines, seizing over 400 "mining machines."

According to Zhejiang Daily, recently, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau successfully dismantled multiple criminal gangs smuggling virtual currency "mining machines" through in-depth operations and meticulous investigations, effectively cutting off an illegal industrial chain.Previously, during a routine inspection of a batch of imported express shipments declared as "industrial blockers," Ningbo Customs discovered that the actual goods did not match the declaration and were, in fact, virtual currency "mining machines." Customs officers quickly transferred this lead to the anti-smuggling department. After receiving the report, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau immediately assembled a task force by drawing on elite personnel, and through data analysis and clue investigation, gradually clarified the organizational structure and operational model of the criminal network. When the timing was right, they decisively struck, simultaneously conducting net-seizing operations in Dongguan, Shenzhen, and other locations, successfully dismantling multiple smuggling gangs of mining machines.Upon investigation, it was confirmed that this series of cases seized over 400 illegal entry mining machines of brands such as Ant L9 and Ice River KS3. The investigation revealed that the smuggling gang led by Liao, in order to make illegal profits, procured "mining machines" from overseas suppliers, disassembled the whole machines, and misreported the product names to smuggle them into the country through international express channels from ports in Ningbo, Guangzhou, and other places. After the goods entered the country, the gang reassembled them, either selling them directly domestically or transporting them to hidden "mining sites" in Xinjiang, Hunan, and other places to engage in illegal virtual currency "mining" activities. At the same time, they utilized virtual currencies like USDT for cross-border payment settlements to evade financial supervision.
