Original Title: User on Twitter got $300k worth of NFTs drained after going to the first link on google search (a sponsored one though). Another reminder to always double check the address, especially if you don’t have adblock on since some ad links on google are malicious.

So a Twitter user name robbyhammz had $300k worth of Azuki NFTs drained from his wallet. Azuki are a pretty popular NFT collection, and their current floor price is over 5ETH. There are exactly 10k Azukis so you could say they’re relatively scarce.

Anyways here is his tweet about it:

So he searched for some site, it seems he doesn’t have adblock on, or doesn’t use a browser like Brave that already blocks ads from the get go, so he clicked first given link by google (sponsored one) and got his valuable NFT wallet drained. He does claim he did not sign anything on website, but maybe he won’t admit, or doesn’t have the best recollection of what happened at that moment, or he just has a malware already on his PC because he had to have signed a malicious smart contract for this to happen, right?
