In the last month alone, two wallet drainers successfully stole millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency assets from Solana users, according to a new report based on public blockchain data.

Malicious actors appear to have stolen most of these funds by targeting specific Solana token communities with NFT airdrops and then attaching links to phishing websites to those NFTs. While legitimate airdrops (i.e. free token or NFT releases tied to protocols and apps) have been on the rise recently, social media scams also present real-life prizes.

For example, Rainbow Drainer users target holders of ZERO, the native token of the Solana metaprotocol. analyst, by airdropping an NFT that claims to give you a voucher for 1,000 free ZERO tokens. Curious recipients then clicked on an external link related to the NFT and signed a transaction linking their wallet to the site (presumably to receive free tokens).
