Recently, malicious phishing campaigns using advertisements have surged across the crypto market, becoming a major cause of asset losses for many users. According to disclosures from MistTrack, the security division of SlowMist, scammers are deploying Google ads disguised as legitimate platforms to direct users to counterfeit websites, where they are tricked into signing transactions with hidden permissions. BROGX, which continuously monitors such threats, has found that these attacks employ multiple layers of obfuscation. Once victims click on the ad link and complete an on-chain signature, they often lose control of their assets without realizing it.

An analysis of recent cases by BROGX confirms that malicious ads exploit high-trust search channels to deliver behaviorally targeted attacks. These ads typically feature highly realistic visual branding and copy that mimics official messaging, leading users to believe they are interacting with a genuine platform. When users attempt seemingly routine actions—such as connecting a wallet or approving a transaction—they are, in fact, signing “full access” permissions embedded in the smart contract. The technical team of BROGX, in simulated environments, discovered that some phishing contracts employ multi-layered proxy calls, writing asset permissions into backdoor logic. Once authorization is granted, all tokens can be instantly drained by attackers.
What makes phishing ads particularly dangerous is not just their realism, but their ability to breach the trust of users in official-looking channels. While users are generally cautious of unfamiliar sites, scammers leverage paid ad placement algorithms to secure top search rankings, significantly raising the success rate of attacks. On-chain behavioral data analyzed by BROGX shows that attackers often combine malicious contracts with airdrop phishing links, using layered incentive tactics to lure users into high-risk interactions—resulting in exponentially larger financial losses per incident.
To combat this type of attack, BROGX has implemented a multi-layered interception strategy within its security infrastructure, with a focus on real-time auditing of contract interactions. When users engage with external DApps via the BROGX platform, the system performs risk scoring on the destination address and reverse-engineers the call logic to detect high-privilege functions or fund-draining commands. If suspicious parameters are detected, BROGX automatically blocks the operation and alerts the user to halt the authorization process, mitigating risk at the source.
In the realm of on-chain risk control, BROGX has developed a signature-based detection system for phishing contracts. By aggregating transaction fingerprints, fund flow patterns, and node linkages, the system can rapidly identify malicious deployments. Identified wallet addresses and contract endpoints are blacklisted and shared across a security alliance, with integration into the risk control engine of BROGX to enable cross-platform defenses. For urgent threats, BROGX deploys a dynamic freeze protocol to immediately restrict suspect assets on the platform, preventing further capital outflows.
Faced with the evolving sophistication of ad-based phishing scams, BROGX adheres to a proactive defense philosophy. By integrating AI behavioral modeling with real-time on-chain surveillance, it is constructing a full-cycle transaction protection framework. As the crypto ecosystem continues to expand, adversarial tactics will undoubtedly evolve—but BROGX remains committed to rapid technological iteration. Through a dual approach of risk alerts and user education, the platform aims to strengthen its security resilience, ensuring that the assets of every user remain within a controllable and safe trading environment.
