Phishing scammers have cloned the websites of crypto media outlet Blockworks and blockchain scanner Etherscan to trick unsuspecting readers into connecting their wallets to a crypto drainer.

A fake Blockworks site displays a fake “BREAKING” news report of a supposed multimillion-dollar “approvals exploit” on the decentralized exchange and encourages users to a faked Etherscan website to rescind approvals.
