Uniswap Founder Warns of Fake Google Ads After User Loses Entire Wallet

[cryptobro]

Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, has issued a fresh warning about fraudulent ads impersonating the platform after a crypto user reportedly lost his entire wallet balance.

Adams said scam ads continue to appear on major search engines, often targeting the keyword “Uniswap” so that fake links show up as top results. Unsuspecting users who click the ad may connect their wallets and unknowingly approve malicious transactions — allowing attackers to drain their funds instantly. Adams noted that similar issues have persisted for years, even during periods when the legitimate Uniswap app was still awaiting official App Store approval.
