Cybercriminals have stolen at least $400,000 by running fraudulent Google ads that mimic Uniswap, a popular decentralized crypto exchange. These fake ads use authentic-looking URLs and hidden iframes to bypass Google's detection, redirecting users to counterfeit sites that steal wallet funds. Blockchain investigators found two suspicious wallets holding about 146 ETH ($306,000). The Security Alliance blocked over 356 malicious ads, but the scam persists, with $1.27 million stolen in just two weeks of March. This scam highlights ongoing risks in crypto advertising and the need for stronger platform controls.
