In a shocking turn of events, the peer-to-peer trading platform NFT Trader fell victim to a significant security breach on December 16. This incident led to the theft of millions of dollars worth of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), including high-profile collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and Pudgy Penguins.
While the attack, marked by a phishing scam, has sent ripples through the NFT community, raising concerns about the security of decentralized platforms, Everlodge, a new platform offering fractionalized real estate NFTs is making waves.
The NFT Trader breach
The breach at NFT Trader resulted in the unauthorized access and theft of iconic NFT collections. At least 13 Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) tokens and 37 Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) tokens were among the pilfered assets, alongside losses from VeeFriends and World of Women NFTs.
The attackers targeted old smart contracts, exploiting vulnerabilities introduced by recent upgrades. Shockingly, the heist was accompanied by public messages from the assailants, claiming to be “picking up residual garbage” and demanding a 10% bounty in Ether (ETH) for the return of their NFTs. The attackers also used a wallet flagged for a phishing scam, adding a layer of complexity to the incident.
Amid the chaos, an unexpected twist emerged when Boring Security DAO emerged with news that it had recovered the stolen NFTs and that they were in their custody and required victims to open a ticket on their discord.
All 36 BAYC and 18 MAYC that the exploiter had are now in our possession.
We sent her 10% of the floor price of the collections as bounty. We will be working with the affected victims getting them back to them free of charge.
Right after this coffee break…
Victims please…
