Breaching Over NFT Projects
The popular social networking platform for Non-Fungible Token (NFT) projects, Discord, has been the target of recent hacker attempts. According to new research from Web3 security company TRM Labs, during the last three months, there has been a rise in hacker attacks on Discord.
In June 2022, the detection of phishing attempts connected to NFT minting scams held by using hacked Discord accounts soared by 55% as compared to last year. The data from TRM Labs also shows that the NFT market has struggled and lost around $22 million since May 2022.
Additionally, Bored Ape’s social media accounts Instagram and Discord compromised earlier this year led to a loss of over $13 million. Following that, hackers recently gained access to Premint, a well-known NFT registration platform, and stole 320 NFTs worth more than $400,000. Furthermore, NFT influencer Zeneca became the latest victim as the attackers promoted on Zeneca’s Twitter account in an attempt to attract investors.
