However, despite the investigation, the cybersecurity company remains unable to ascertain the true identities of these hackers who have managed to steal a whopping $1 million in crypto.
The report raised suspicions of an anonymous scammer being associated with a Canadian group. Nevertheless, the firm has been unsuccessful in confirming any specific name or identity. CertiK disclosed its discoveries resulting via the scrutiny of a crypto scam artist known as Faint. This individual, supposedly operational since 2022.
CertiK pinpointed various Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains linked to Faint, encompassing domains such as faintxbt.eth, comefindme.eth, thanksfortheseed.eth, onchainkitten.eth, and hzontop.eth.
The report also underlined connections between Faint and another alleged scammer dubbed Soup. An on-chain researcher named ZachXBT previously published a probe on Soup, asserting their involvement in purloining substantial assets by infiltrating Discord servers and posing as a media platform employee.
Despite these revelations, CertiK still faces challenges in unmasking the true identities of these hackers. The company underscores that Faint continues to pose a threat to the crypto community and urges members to take precautions against potential wallet draining attempts.
Within the report, CertiK suggests utilizing applications like Wallet Guard and Pocket Universe, designed to alert users about interactions with wallet drainers. The company also advises users to exercise caution by verifying addresses and ensuring that any approvals granted do not originate from recognized phishing addresses.
