A significant loss of NFTs was incurred by a user on the Blur marketplace. The incident, currently under investigation, is believed to be linked to a social media phishing scam.
Details surrounding the event reveal that the victim unknowingly interacted with a fraudulent website. Promoted through social media channels, the website likely posed as a legitimate service related to NFTs, such as an airdrop checker.
Upon interaction with the website, the user is believed to have unknowingly granted access to their Blur account. This access would have enabled the scammer to exploit vulnerabilities and transfer NFTs from the victim’s collection.
The total value of the stolen NFTs is estimated to be $240,000. Blur, the NFT marketplace involved, is currently investigating the incident. This event highlights the ongoing importance of cybersecurity awareness within the NFT space.
