While the security outfit did not elaborate, these fake Shibaswap websites are likely linked to wallet drainers, which siphon assets once the user connects their wallet. At the time of writing, it is currently unclear if any user has lost money to the scheme.

Meanwhile, it is not the first time a security platform has warned of fake Shibaswap links. “Jack Fake-Killer,” an X account dedicated to exposing phishing links, first warned of such a scheme on January 13.

Beyond the Shibaswap scam, The Crypto Basic has called attention to numerous instances of fraudulent endeavors targeting Shiba Inu holders.
