NFT Discord Channels Are Being Attacked By Hackers Looking To Steal Cryptocurrency
If you’re in an NFT Discord, be careful of the links you click. A new scam sees hackers crack into NFT Discord bots to trick users into sending cryptocurrency to “mint” fake NFTs.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Nyoki, and Shamanz have all tweeted warnings to users that their Twitter bots have been hacked and are advertising new NFTs that are completely fake. Instead of taking users to legitimate NFT minting sites, the link directs users' crypto to a pair of crypto wallets that have been busily laundering their ill-gotten gains.
Hackers are essentially performing a phishing scam, using the Discord bots to disguise the fake links as legitimate new offerings. Vice has confirmed that the links direct users to two crypto wallets that have been labeled Fake_Phishing5519 and Fake_Phishing5520 on blockchain explorer Etherscan, and that both wallets have been experiencing extensive activity.
