OpenSea’s Discord servers were hacked early Friday morning by a scammer promoting a fake project. The company has taken actions against the scammer, and no malicious posts have been seen since 4:30 a.m. ET. According to one account, the hacked NFTs were worth less than 10 Ether, but the total value of the stolen funds was nearly $26,900 as of Friday.

A hack of 91 NFTs from the bored ape yacht club’s Instagram account has been confirmed. The hacker used a phishing scam to steal the NFTs valued at $2.8 million from users’ connected wallets. The attacker also stole various digital assets including 960 Ethereum and four Bored apes. However, the hacker is not yet in custody and it remains unclear what the attacker’s motives are.
The theft took place earlier this month. A user named Todd Kramer, who owns the Ross + Kramer art gallery, had 15 of his NFTs stolen. The theft also stole a wallet that contained digital art worth $2.2 million. Interestingly, four of the stolen NFTs were from Bored Ape. This hack is the latest in a series of recent Twitter scams that have targeted verified accounts. The scams have spread from ApeCoin to Moonbirds and Azuki. In order to prevent scams from spreading further, users must be extremely careful about where they connect their NFTs and enter their seed phrase.
The attackers, who are reportedly linked to the BAYC blockchain, have been tracking the stolen NFTs on Twitter. In the NFT hack, the hackers gained access to the Ethereum address of an account that contains more than 91 NFTs. The funds were sent to the exchanges KuCoin and Binance, mostly to the latter. The BAYC team has directed affected users to a designated email address and has also implored them to only follow official Twitter handles.
91 NFTs were resold
After a breach in the NFT system, hackers have stolen more than 91 million non-fungible tokens, including more than 24 Mutant Apes and 30 Bored Apes. Aside from those stolen, another 77 NFTs were resold. According to reports, the amount of stolen tokens is at least $13.7 million. While the hack was an isolated event, the attackers likely hacked an account with the Wyvern Protocol and transferred ownership of the tokens without payment.
A BAYC co-founder who goes by the alias Garga said on Twitter that he was not the owner of the 91 NFTs. Instead, he resold them. The NFT hack took place on April 1, and the BAYC NFT collection was one of the targets. Hackers compromised the company’s Instagram account and posted a fake advertisement that wooed followers into clicking a link. The fake advertisement was for a coveted offer that would allow them to purchase additional features and land in the upcoming metaverse.
The hack has caused a spike in the price of NFT. The price of an NFT increased by more than a third, with the highest NFT sold for $7.5 million. The company also plans to use the proceeds from NFT sales to subsidize its losses at COVID19. But despite the NFT hack, 3LAU continues to share his passion for music and art through his SSX3LAU project, which combines visual art and a recording studio. As a musician and a multi-media artist, Grimes is also an important part of the crypto art community. His first foray into the marketplace has brought him great success.
91 NFTs were moved
As of Monday morning, more than 91 NFTs have been moved out of wallets connected to the scam. The total value of the stolen NFTs is over $2.8 million. The 91 NFTs that were stolen were from wallets that were connected to the scam, which is a large number. The attacker used a phishing website to trick users into connecting their wallets to the scam, which ultimately gave the hacker access to their digital wallets. 91 NFTs were stolen from these wallets, which are now in the hands of fraudsters, according to reports.
The BAYC team has confirmed the theft. They have recovered approximately $3 million worth of NFTs. The hackers were able to do this by using a phishing scam and advertised a fake land airdrop. Upon clicking on the fake link, users were prompted to sign a safeTransferFrom transaction, which transferred their assets to the scammer’s wallet. The BAYC team has since contacted all impacted users and directed them to contact them. Those who are impacted by the hack should follow official Twitter accounts and avoid following suspicious Twitter handles.
The BAYC project has been hacked twice in the past month. One of the attacks involved the pirated Discord account, which resulted in the theft of NFTs. The ongoing hacking in the market has sparked concerns about jobs and sustainability. Its reputation as one of the most valuable NFT collections has been put at risk. The company behind the NFT project, Yuga Labs, is preparing to introduce a metaverse that is based around its collection of NFTs.
91 NFTs were resold for 99 ETH
After the recent hack that exposed 91 NFTs for resale at an astronomical price, Bitcoin investors are demanding an investigation into why this happened. One of the biggest cryptocurrency platforms, Binance, was hit by a massive hack in May, causing a $40 million loss for users. The New York Attorney General’s Office is now investigating Bitfinex for allegedly misusing over $800 million in customer assets.
91 NFTs were returned
The hacker was able to steal 91 NFTs, valued at $2.8 million, from the NFT saga. Some of the NFTs were Bored Apes, while others were Mutant Apes. The attacker also stole various digital assets from the wallet. In addition to the 91 NFTs that were stolen, the hacker also stole 960 Ethereum and four Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs.
The attack targeted the Wyvern Protocol, the open-source standard for most NFT smart contracts. The attackers obtained ownership of NFTs by signing part of the contract. They then called their own contract, and transferred ownership of the NFTs without paying for them. The attackers then disappeared. The NFT hack led to the loss of 91 NFTs, and an investigation has been launched to determine who is to blame.
The hackers posed as support staff on the official Discord server of OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace. They said they were there to help users with their NFTs. They said they would be dropping 100 mint passes and giving people access to a collaborative project. The announcement linked to a phishing website. The website tricked users into making transactions with fraudulent sites.
91 NFTs were blocked
According to the recent NFT hack, a hacker managed to steal 91 NFTs worth $2.8 million from wallets connected to the airdrop website. The hacker used the Wyvern Protocol, the open-source smart contract standard that most NFTs are built on. In the attack, the attackers signed a partial contract and then ‘called their own contract’ to transfer ownership of the NFTs without paying the owners. The hacker’s account on OpenSea was also blocked.
The hackers gained access to the BAYC project, which is based on NFTs. Its users were tricked into accepting a fake airdrop, and then the attackers took 91 NFTs. They also stole various digital assets, including four Bored Apes, six Mutant Apes, and three Bored Ade Kennel Club NFTs. Despite the NFT hack, the attackers’ phishing attacks have highlighted the need for security.
Hackers are targeting NFT-based platforms, which have taken the brunt of the losses since the start of the year. The recent BAYC attack is not the first BAYC-related platform attack to hit NFTs this year. A similar attack was carried out on Bored Ape’s Discord server, leading to the theft of the Mutant App. The recent BAYC attack is just one of many phishing attempts that have targeted NFT marketplaces in recent months.
91 NFTs were resold for $0.01
After a hack on the non-fungible tokens known as NFTs, many investors have reported missing tokens worth over $2.8 million. According to one report, Chris Chapman had sold his Bored Ape for $1 million on OpenSea, when he got a notification that his NFT had been sold for $0.01! This hack is the first of its kind and OpenSea is now facing lawsuits from disgruntled users who believe they were cheated out of their money.
According to reports, a hacker posted a fake “mint” link on Instagram to lure users into connecting their digital wallets to their accounts. Once they clicked on the link, they were able to access their wallets. While the hacker claimed to have sold the stolen NFTs for $0.01 each, he did not claim to be the only one responsible. Many accounts, however, have confirmed that the hack did happen and warn users to take the appropriate measures to protect their wallets. The hacker is now selling stolen NFTs for less than the floor price.
While iloveponzi hasn’t publicly commented on the details of the hack, the hacked account has been banned from the company’s website. He has also been accused of violating the company’s terms of service, which prohibit the fraudulent taking of items without authorization. Despite the hacker’s account being disabled, the contents of the wallet can still be viewed on other platforms. Currently, Rarible has a screenshot of the hacker’s wallet on the hacked account. This shows 134 NFTs, four Bored Apes, and other items from Yuga Labs.
