"Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherside NFTs Taken in Compromised Discord Server"

Hackers stole over $257,000 in Ethereum and 32 NFTs following the hacking of the Yuga Labs' Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherside Metaverse Discord services to execute a phishing scheme. A Yuga Labs community manager's Discord account was hacked and used to perform a phishing scheme on the company's Discord servers. This phishing scam involved posing as an exclusive limited offer for current BAYC, Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), and Otherside NFT holders. A link is provided to a webpage where visitors can mint the free NFT. To increase urgency, the phishing campaign claimed that only a limited number of NFTs could be minted, thus prompting visitors to be less cautious. The webpage stole all Ethereum and NFTs held in the associated wallet after a user visited it and attempted to mint the giveaway. This article continues to discuss the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherside Metaverse Discord compromise in an NFT phishing attack.
