Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Pepe memecoin website exploited, redirecting users to malware: Blockaid Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/security/32085750/ The official website for the Pepe (PEPE) memecoin has been compromised by attackers, who are now redirecting users to a malicious link.

“Blockaid’s system has identified a front-end attack on Pepe. The site contains a code of inferno drainer,” the cybersecurity company said on Thursday.

Inferno Drainer is a suite of scam tools that is employed by threat actors, including phishing website templates, wallet drainers, and social engineering tools.

The price of PEPE did not react immediately to the hack. The memecoin is up by about 4% over the last 24 hours, but still declining by more than 77% over the last 12 months, according to CoinGecko.

This latest cybersecurity incident highlights the ongoing need for vigilance among crypto users. Users are encouraged to stay clear of the site until the issue is resolved.
