A new type of scammer, specifically tailored to drain wallets, has been spotted actively preying on up-and-coming blockchain networks such as TON and TRON, according to experts’ findings
It appears that blockchain environments such as The Open Network and TRON are facing challenges due to the emergence of the AngelX wallet drainer, which is leading to an increase in fraudulent activities, signifying a worrying escalation in cybersecurity issues within the cryptocurrency sector
According to data from Blockaid, a blockchain cybersecurity company, the cryptocurrency token AngelX, which was launched on August 31, has experienced rapid growth.

A modernized and advanced form of the initial wallet drainer, known as the latest version, seems to be focusing on vulnerabilities in less developed blockchain networks. This is because hackers view these chains as having weaker defense mechanisms against attacks, owing to a scarcity of robust security resources and support, according to Blockaid

Neverending attacks
Around mid-July, experts at Match Systems announced they managed to unmask the people behind the Angel drainer, leading some to wonder if this malware had stopped functioning. The Angel Drainer is a type of malware built using JavaScript, which cybercriminals employ to empty cryptocurrency wallets through phishing tactics. These tactics trick users into approving token transfers, thereby enabling hackers to plunder their digital assets
Mid-July, analysis by Match Systems indicates the members behind a cryptocurrency wallet called Angel Drainer may have been unmasked, raising questions about whether the malicious software had been shut down. In February, Blockaid predicted that Angel Drainer had stolen over $25 million in cryptocurrency from approximately 35,000 users, suggesting that the malware was likely associated with “high-profile heists” like Ledger Connect or Restart Farming Attack
The software known as Angel Drainer is a type of harmful program written in JavaScript. Cybercriminals employ it to empty digital wallets containing cryptocurrency. It functions by carrying out fraudulent activities, such as phishing schemes, which deceive users into approving token transactions unknowingly.
