Wintermute’s ‘CrimeEnjoyor’ to flag Ethereum’s wallet-draining contracts
Wintermute has created code that warns of malicious code in Ethereum delegate contracts to protect users from a new wallet-draining tactic.
Ethereum users will be warned of a new attack capable of draining their wallets, as crypto market maker Wintermute says it has created code that injects a warning into verified malicious contracts.
Wintermute’s code, dubbed “CrimeEnjoyor,” prints a warning within malicious Ethereum contracts that are “designed to auto-sweep funds” from wallets with leaked private keys, it said in a May 30 X post.
The warning reads that the malicious contract “is used by bad guys to automatically sweep all incoming ETH” and prominently warns to “NOT SEND ANY ETH.”
