Scammers struck the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) universe and stole some tokens.
But, dont worry, you cant blame web3 for it.
It asked people to connect theirMetaMask(or any other equivalent cryptocurrency wallet), to claim the land.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
However, it was just a trick to steal NFTs.
?There is no mint going on today.
It looks like BAYC Instagram was hacked.
Do not mint anything, click links, or link your wallet to anything.
The combined value of all of these?
Well, that was estimated to be $2.4 million.
Meanwhile, weve asked Yuga Labs, BAYCs owner, if they are compensating holders for stolen assets.
Well update the story if we hear back.
One of web3s most prestigious projects has now been the target of several phishing attacks.
Earlier this month,the projects Discord was compromised.
So high-value NFT projects like BAYC need to take extra steps to ensure their holders are protected.
Yuga Labs or ApeCoinDAO should create a custody service asap.
They are the only people that have the trust and distribution.
And people who might not want to miss out on airdrops could overlook security at those moments.
But, of course, achieving this is far easier said than done.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
He likes to say “Bleh.
