Twitter crypto scammers are now targeting Moonbirds NFTs, a project by entrepreneurs Kevin Rose and Ryan Carson.
Its a collection of 10,000 pixelated owls that have raked millions in sales within days.
Scammers trying to get some money off successful NFT projects is a recurring theme now.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
The list goes on.
As noted by crypto scam watcher accountzachxbt, the project was the target of a Sybil attack at launch.
That means one person created a ton of wallets to be on the allowlist that gets to mint NFTs.
Essentially, the project failed to put in enough filters to disallow such bidding.
Oh the spam is terrible!
Were doing everything we can to contain it.
Lots of bad actors doing their play.
