It is understood that Inferno Drainer is a widely circulated fraud toolkit in the hacker circle, which contains phishing website templates, wallet drainers and social engineering inducement tools. Once a user clicks on the currently hacked PEPE official website, they will be automatically redirected to a malicious website disguised as a regular transaction or airdrop page, inducing investors to connect to their wallets, causing assets to be looted instantly.

However, the specific amount of damage caused by this attack has not yet been reported. However, security experts call on all users: Never click or visit the PEPE official website before the official announcement of a fix, to prevent accidents.

In addition, PEPE currency does not seem to be affected by this attack so far, and the currency price has not yet experienced significant fluctuations.
