  • Scam Sniffer discovered ads on Google that direct users to phishing websites.
  • A blockchain security company searched for the word ‘Somemium’.
  • Soneium, an L2 blockchain, was launched in August to drive Web3 adoption.

Google’s sponsored ads, reportedly linked to Sony’s new blockchain project Soneium, are draining cryptocurrency wallets.

This was discovered by Scam Sniffer, a blockchain security company that posted a message to X. According to the company, they searched for someium on Google and were directed to a phishing ad.

⚠️ While searching for Soneium on Google, I clicked on a phishing ad.

Scam Sniffer added, “Phishing happens all the time when you’re not careful. Even when you misspell ‘soneium’ as ‘someium’.”

When Coinjournal checked this, they found that the sites looked identical. However, according to Scam Sniffer, “in some cases, it will take you to a phishing website.”

Soneium is a layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs. The initiative, launched in partnership with Startale Labs, launched in August with the goal of driving Web3 adoption.

Since launch, Soneium has partnered with Transak and Circle to enable fiat onramp services and USDC.

$35 million loss

Earlier this month, the cryptocurrency whale lost approximately $35 million worth of Few Wrapped Duo ETH (fwDETH) tokens following a recent massive phishing attack on the Blast network.

The attack, first reported by Scam Sniffer and confirmed by security firms PeckShield and BlockSec, occurred when victims unknowingly signed fraudulent “permission” signatures, allowing attackers to drain funds from their wallets.

Following the attack, DETH price fell more than 38% from $3,482 to $2,150 as the attackers liquidated the stolen tokens. The price of fwDETH also fell by more than 90%, from $2,000 to $100, but later recovered to around $1,000.
