BAYC and MAYC Tokens Stolen | Breaking
22 May, 2023, there was a phishing attack that targeted BAYC and MAYC holders. The hackers were able to steal over 100 NFTs, including some rare and valuable ones. The total value of the stolen NFTs is estimated to be over $2 million.
The hackers sent phishing emails to BAYC and MAYC holders. The emails looked like they were from Yuga Labs, the company that created the NFT collections. The emails asked users to connect their MetaMask wallets to a fake website. Once users connected their wallets, the hackers were able to steal their NFTs.
The phishing attack is a reminder of the importance of security when using NFTs. Users should only connect their MetaMask wallets to trusted websites and be wary of any suspicious links.
Here are some tips to help you stay safe from phishing scams:
