The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) Discord server was hacked on Saturday. The attacker managed to steal 200 Ethereum-worth (CRYPTO: ETH) of NFTs ($360,000), along with an 145 ETH ($260,000).

The project’s community manager, Boris Vagner’s Discord account, was compromised. The attacker used his account to post phishing links in both the official BAYC and its metaverse project Otherside’s Discord channels.

Later, Yuga Labs confirmed the hack and said it is still actively investigating the incident.
