ZachXBT, a well-known blockchain investigator, was among the first to follow and publicize the activities, stating on October 26 that:

Four addresses, including monkey-drainer.eth, have been identified as being related to Monkey Drainer.

When these addresses are searched on the blockchain community-driven Web3 security network Chainabuse, a large record of reports linked to airdrop frauds, NFT scams, and phishing assaults appears.

Airdrop frauds via the Astrobot Society discord channel, a False Wolf Game and Bored Ape Yacht Club marketplace, and a fake Aptos Airdrop are among the recorded cases.
