Monkey Drainer steals 7 CryptoPunks, 20 Otherdeed NFTs
Prominent blockchain security firm PeckshieldAlert and onchain sleuth Zachxbt revealed on Nov. 4 that a phishing scammer operating under the pseudonym Monkey Drainer had stolen 7 Cryptopunks and 20 Otherdeed NFTs. The news was first reported by self-acclaimed 2D scam detector ZackXBT, who estimated the stolen collectibles were worth 520 ETH — roughly $824,200.
The recent theft represents the second exploit by the Monkey drainer within ten days. On Oct. 25, the exploiter ripped off 700 ETH ($1 million) over 24 hours from several victims. Two of the largest victims lost $370,000 by signing transactions on malicious phishing sites operated by Monkey Drainer. One of the victims lost one BAYC, one CloneX, $36,000 in USDC, and 12 other NFTs worth around $150,000, whereas another held over $6.2 million worth of crypto at the time but only lost $220,000.
