[Fraud Service Vanilla Drainer Steals Over $5 Million in Crypto Assets Within Three Weeks] Blockchain investigation firm Darkbit disclosed that the fraud service Vanilla Drainer has stolen at least $5.27 million in cryptocurrency in just three weeks. The service assists fraudsters in stealing funds by providing phishing software and takes a 15%-20% commission from the proceeds. Vanilla Drainer has been active since October 2024, with advertisements claiming it can bypass the security detection platform Blockaid. On August 5, the platform carried out its largest single theft, causing victims to lose $3.09 million in stablecoins, while the fraud operators profited $463,000. The stolen funds are typically converted into ETH or non-freezable DAI and eventually flow into a fee wallet currently holding tokens valued at $2.23 million. To evade tracking, Vanilla Drainer frequently changes domain names and generates new contracts for each malicious website.
