An Asset Drainer is a malicious program or script that illicitly transfers digital assets from a user’s wallet. These nefarious tools typically operate by tricking users into signing malicious transactions, granting unauthorized access to their funds, or exploiting software weaknesses. They frequently appear as deceptive websites, fake decentralized applications, or compromised legitimate platforms. The objective remains the rapid and surreptitious removal of various cryptocurrency holdings.
Context
