Blockaid\u2019s R&amp;D leader, Oz Tamir, revealed that the rate of new malicious DApps employing this tool has soared, climbing from 800 per week earlier in the year to 2,400 per week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2024-08\/01919d11-3f57-7db7-a3a8-407ddfe5ab10\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Inferno Drainer, a phishing tool designed to access crypto wallets by tricking users into authorizing token approvals, had previously been linked to $70 million in theft before supposedly shutting down in 2023. However, it has resurfaced with increased activity this year.<\/p>\n<p>Tamir argues that Inferno Drainer, while sophisticated, is not uniquely effective. He notes that scammers choose tools based on current availability and associated fees, rather than any specific feature of the tool itself.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/crypto-ceo-stabbed-in-courtroom-during-fraud-trial\/\" title=\"Crypto CEO Stabbed in Courtroom During Fraud Trial\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/police-gcb67913dc_1280-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Crypto CEO Stabbed in Courtroom During Fraud Trial<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rise in Inferno Drainer\u2019s usage reflects a broader increase in scam attempts, which Blockaid attributes to the expanding crypto market.
