hacker stole millions from crypto users using nothing but Google ads.

No malware.

No exploits.

No fancy hacking tools.

Just advertisements.

The attacker purchased ads targeting popular crypto wallet searches.

Users looking for legitimate sites clicked the first result they saw.

The websites looked identical to the originals.

Same logos.

Same layouts.

Same branding.

Victims entered recovery phrases believing they were logging into legitimate services.

Minutes later their wallets were empty.

Millions disappeared through phishing campaigns that relied entirely on human trust.

The attack revealed something uncomfortable.

Sometimes the weakest point in crypto security isn't code.

It's search results.
