How This Attack Works

Fake Airdrop Scams exploit the burgeoning interest in cryptocurrencies by deceiving users into believing they are receiving free tokens.

These sites are built using JavaScript and HTML to create convincing interfaces.

Additionally, phishing emails and social media posts are used to drive traffic to these malicious websites.
