šµ You want $235k on the NFT?
But the only thing is not to earn, but to lose....
Hi everyone, I decided today to share with you a story (not mine) that recently happened. it will be both useful and interesting.
š¤ Recently one cryptan had NFTs worth 75 ETH (~$235k) missing. The collections included 6 BAYC, 2 MAYC, 40 Beanz, and 3 Azuki Elemental Beans. For those who didn't know, the top NFT collections.
And it didn't happen because of the usual hacker attack. It's much stranger than that...
1ļøā£ Who did this?
The scam was led by Pink Drainer, a team from China that recently hacked the account of ETH creator Vitalik Buterin.
Pink Drainer is a group of scammers about whom literally nothing is known. All that is clear is that there are 15 of them and their total revenue has already amounted to $75 million.
2ļøā£ How did this happen?
The whole venture happened on the NFT marketplace BLUR. As you may know, they ask newbies to give access to their assets to put up NFTs for sale. And there was a Ā«Trojan horseĀ» hidden somewhere at this point.....
3ļøā£ Chronology of events
First, the victim was redirected to a fake website where they had to sign a transaction.
It hid an authorization to sell all assets for free. And the addresses of everyone who wanted to buy the assets (except scammers) were blocked.
If you've signed a real BLUR contract before, be careful. If you are going to be asked for money for a transaction, double-check everything several times.
š Security is always first and foremost. We earn to improve our lives, not to give everything to scammers š„
