Funds obtained from the phishing attack have reportedly been sent to a wallet address that has since been labeled fraudulent.
Reports indicate that multiple NFT projects, including Doodles, Shamanzs, and Nyoki, were the victims of the Discord server hack.
DAPE NFT founder “Serpent” said on Twitter that the hackers had targeted the Ticket Tool Discord bot and advised all users to remove it from their servers.
Last I was told, owner of captcha bot was hacked, the source code was stolen and they were going to extort him. The bot doesn't seem compromised currently but I would still stay far away from it.© 2022 Benzinga.com. Benzinga does not provide investment advice.
