Aave, a decentralized liquidity protocol, reached $60 billion in net deposits across 14 networks. However, scammers launched a phishing campaign through Google Ads targeting Aave users. Once clicked, the fake website prompts users to link their crypto wallets, giving scammers access to funds. Losses have not been confirmed, but users should be cautious.
Phishing scams aim to steal sensitive information like private keys and seed phrases.
