BAYC co-founder warns of impending cyber attack

0 Comment

Gordon Gunnar, co-founder of Juga Labs and the Board App Yacht Club (BAYC), has warned of an impending attack on their social media.

In a post on his Twitter account, he specifically mentioned “Surprise Mints”, hinting that it would be a possible way to attack cybercriminals.

The BAYC brand has recently been verified due to incorrect reasons. On June 4, BAYC Discord was hacked because the perpetrator lured the victims through a phishing scandal.

In phishing scams, cybercriminals post malicious links to persuade victims to provide their login information.

With that personal information, the attacker has the power to steal all the NFT in that person’s wallet.

The attack on Discord was a total of 32 NFTs worth about $ 360k, which were stolen from Blue-chip NFT holders.

Certik, Web3 and blockchain auditing, and the security agency, have released an analysis of the attack. Their assumption is that the attacker may have been involved in other similar attacks.

Sartik’s report states that the attacker’s phishing site was “a carbon copy of the official project website, albeit with subtle differences.”

There were no social media links on the site and a tab was added entitled “Claim free land”.

This tab tempted some victims to click on fake links, which enabled the attacker to steal some BAYC NFT and then sell it in the secondary market.

BAYC, to their credit, has always reacted quickly to security breaches. After the June 4 attackMThey said: “Our discord servers were briefly exploited today.”

“The team quickly catches it and resolves it. About 200 ETH The price of NFT seems to have been affected. ”

“We’re still investigating, but if you’re affected, email us.” [email protected] As a reminder, we do not offer surprise mints or gifts. “

The latest Discord breach isn’t the first time Legend Apps has been targeted.

There have been several other high-profile breaches involving board apps this year.

In January, Todd Kramer said his collection of 16 BAYC NFTs worth $ 2.28 million had been “hacked.”

Famously, Kramer wrote: “I was hacked. All my monkeys are gone. “

In this example, Kramer clicked on a link that appeared to be a real NFT DApp (decentralized application). However, it turned out to be a phishing attack that resulted in the theft of 16 NFTs from his collection

Eight of these sixteen NFTs were BAYC NFTs valued at approximately 15 615 (over $ 800k). The other seven NFTs were the Mutant App Yacht Club (MAYC) NFTs. As a result, his assets were confiscated by Openness.

When it comes to your NFT, be careful and be aware of the phishing scams that pervade the Web3 space.

As Gordon Gunnar puts it, surprise gifts and mints are never real and that rule will probably apply to most projects there.
