An Inferno Drainer address is connected to the hack, however it isn't most likely that this plan is still active.
Brazilian crypto influencer Augusto Backes overcame $211,000 drained pipes from his wallet on Mar. 3, after clicking a harmful link sent out from a phishing e-mail, according to a video from his channel.
Backes mentioned that the e-mail address was apparently associated to an airdrop performed by Ethereum's layer-2 blockchain Blast. He gets phishing frauds in his e-mail box daily, the Brazilian crypto influencer highlighted that he was preparing a script for a video and got sidetracked.
“In the middle of this stress and anxiety, I got an e-mail. 2 months earlier, I subscribed my wallet to Blast's airdrop, and I needed to show the NFT amount to be chosen for this airdrop”, Backes states in the video. “The e-mail appeared to be sent out from Blast, and as a matter of reality, this is a well-crafted rip-off, with the fraudster mimicing the site. I clicked the ‘Claim your tokens' button as soon as, signed the deal on my MetaMask, and the agreement swallowed whatever.”

Joe Green, Head of the Quick Response Team at blockchain security company CertiK, mentioned that destructive addresses connected to the Inferno Drainer fraud were associated with this occurrence. This plan was closed in November 2023, and a character associated with it moved onto the Angel Drainer group.
“So whilst harmful addresses connected to Inferno were associated with this event it is not likely to be an Inferno Drainer,” Green describes. “The fraudsters' wallet is 0x3CF955Bf92DD56CFE51cf7024EA1F2be49CEBC2F while the cost address is 0xf672775e124E66f8cC3FB584ed739120d32bBaad. The deals were started by 0x0000db5c8B030ae20308ac975898E09741e70000 which has actually been related to the Inferno Drainer in the past.”
As a caution for Web3 users, Green states that users need to inspect the sender's e-mail address. “In the example listed below, the e-mail originated from [email protected]which is not a main Blast e-mail. This will immediately show to the user that this is most likely to be a phishing fraud.”

Users must constantly confirm that the URL they're clicking on is main before linking their wallet and finalizing deals, Green concludes.
