Vanilla Drainer: New Cryptocurrency Scam Service Steals $5.3 Million in 3 Weeks

A new scam service called Vanilla Drainer has been linked to over $5.27 million in stolen cryptocurrency over the past three weeks, according to blockchain investigator Darkbit. This is rapidly replacing older drainers like Inferno and Angel, which were responsible for a staggering $500 million in thefts in 2024. Vanilla’s rise is attributed to its effectiveness at bypassing security measures, with Darkbit noting it has already captured many of its customers from these earlier services.
