HackFraudFake Airdrop Permit Signing Drains Wallets Later
Published: 27 Oct 2026 · Worldwide
Scammers use fake airdrop sites mimicking official projects. Users connect wallet and sign an off-chain 'permit' message (no gas fee) granting hidden approval. Drainer waits days/weeks then empties the wallet when funds are added. Avoid signing unclear messages; use burner wallets and revoke approvals.
