In a stunning turn of events, the notorious crypto wallet-draining kit, Inferno Drainer, has declared its departure from the malicious world of phishing scams. With over $80 million of stolen crypto in its clutches, Inferno Drainer has decided to call it quits. In their final message on Telegram, the team bid their users adieu, ending what can only be described as a wild ride.

“The end of the craziest journey. Inferno Drainer is shutting down. It has been a long ride with all of you, and we’d like to thank you from the heart. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. After draining over $80 million, we’ve decided to shut down. It’s time for us to move on,” the team stated in their farewell message.

Think of Inferno Drainer as the Houdini of the crypto world, rising to prominence following the demise of its sibling, Monkey Drainer. Just like its predecessor, Inferno offered a devious software that drained crypto wallets, while cheekily claiming a 20% cut of the loot.

Analytics from the Web3 anti-scam platform, Scam Sniffer, reveal that Inferno Drainer managed to pilfer nearly $70 million from over 100,000 unsuspecting victims since February. But hold on to your digital wallets, because the Inferno Drainer team insists that the actual amount snatched is over a scorching $80 million! Talk about playing with fire!

To add a twist to this digital saga, the team behind Inferno Drainer revealed that all files, servers, and devices related to their nefarious tool will not be obliterated. Instead, they plan to keep the servers running to ensure a smooth transition for those seeking alternative services. They even encouraged users to split the not auto-split assets among themselves. How considerate!

In a cautionary note to the crypto community, the Inferno Drainer team urged users not to trust any individuals or groups claiming to be affiliated with them in the future. They want it known that their decision to retire is final and resolute. “A big thank you to everyone who has worked with us. We hope you can remember us as the best drainer that has ever existed and that we succeeded in helping you in the quest to make money. Goodbye.”

Blockchain security firm CertiK didn’t mince words when they labeled Inferno Drainer as “one of the most damaging phishing kits” to the crypto community. The closure announcement brings a sense of relief to potential victims, but it also raises concerns about the prevalence of such malevolent activities within the crypto space. It’s like fighting a never-ending battle against a horde of digital pickpockets!

Now, you might think that the departure of Inferno Drainer signals a win for the good guys, right? Well, hold your digital horses, because Pink Drainer and Angel Drainer are still dancing with danger. These competing drainers continue their operations, as if the inferno of crypto scams isn’t hot enough!

In response to this alarming escalation of exploits and fraud within the crypto sector, KPMG Canada decided to play the hero. They recently announced a strategic partnership with the blockchain analytics firm, Chainalysis. It’s like Batman joining forces with a crime-fighting ally! This collaboration aims to enhance KPMG’s expertise in forensic investigations and crypto assets, reflecting the industry’s recognition of the need for proactive measures against criminal activities. They’re bringing in the big guns to take down the bad guys!

So, my fellow crypto investors, stay alert, keep your digital wallets locked tight, and remember that there’s always a punchline to every scam. Let’s navigate this blockchain kingdom with caution, together!
