An abrupt hostile takeover of the gold-checked Azuki Twitter account led to some users falling for yet another wallet-draining scam on Friday.
In less than 30 minutes, over $750,000 worth of USDC, 11 NFTs, and over 3.9 ETH were stolen through malicious links feigning as a “land mint” for the popular Azuki NFT project. The mint was fake, however, and the link instead sent unsuspecting users to a “drainer” contract that duped them into signing a transaction that swiped assets from their wallets
A single user seemingly inadvertently sent over $750,000 worth of stablecoin USDC to the attacker’s wallet, per Etherscan
data provided by Web3 security firm WalletGuard.
