Crypto scammers have stolen at least $400,000 through fake Uniswap Google ads that redirected users to phishing websites designed to drain wallets. On-chain analyst b-block said attackers used sponsored search results to impersonate the platform, while Stacy Muur noted victims clicked paid ads believing they were official links. The warning highlights a broader rise in crypto phishing campaigns, with Security Alliance reporting a sharp increase since March.
