Warning: A phishing website imitating the new Pudgy Penguins game is attempting to steal users' wallet passwords

By: www.chaincatcher.com|2026/03/19 03:50:25

According to Decrypt, cybersecurity company Malwarebytes Labs has warned that a fake website impersonating the newly released game Pudgy World from Pudgy Penguins is attempting to steal cryptocurrency wallet passwords.

The phishing site pudgypengu-gamegifts[.]live uses a highly realistic replica of a cryptocurrency wallet interface to deceive users. When visitors select a wallet on this fake site, a seemingly authentic wallet unlock interface is displayed, leading users to mistakenly believe it is a trustworthy cryptocurrency wallet software.

Malwarebytes points out that the timing of this phishing campaign appears to be carefully planned, coinciding with the game's launch and a surge of new users, and the attack almost covers all mainstream wallets, indicating that it may be backed by well-resourced threat actors or using commercial phishing toolkits. Users are advised to access the official website only through trusted bookmarks, avoid clicking on social media links, and be cautious of wallet password prompts that appear on web pages.
