Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) creator Yuga Labs has warned there may soon be a “coordinated attack” targeting multiple jeton nefungibil (NFT) comunități.
The NFT company told its Twitter followers on Tuesday that its security team has been tracking a “persistent threat group” targeting the NFT community through compromised social media accounts, urging followers to be on the lookout.
Echipa noastră de securitate a urmărit un grup de amenințări persistente care vizează comunitatea NFT. Credem că ei ar putea lansa în curând un atac coordonat care vizează mai multe comunități prin intermediul unor conturi de social media compromise. Vă rugăm să fiți vigilenți și să fiți în siguranță.

This isn’t the first time the company has warned its community of a possible social media-led attack by hackers.
Not the first, not the last
În iunie, Gordon Goner, co-fondator pseudonim al Yuga Labs, a emis un avertisment of a possible incoming attack on its Twitter social media accounts.
Soon after the warning, Twitter officials began monitoring activity on the accounts and fortified their existing security. Goner told investors that the company would never conduct surprise mints, a popular method attackers use to lure victims.
The month also saw two official Discord groups linked to BAYC and OtherSide NFTs were compromised, allowing scammers to share various phishing links into the official BAYC, Mutant Ape Yacht Club and OtherSide groups on discord.
Cointelegraph asked Yuga Labs for more details about the “persistent threat group” and the potential attack but did not receive an immediate response.
Premint NFT website hacked
Yuga Labs’ new warning comes only days after threat actors hacked popular NFT platform Premint NFT, stealing approximately 314 NFTs and $375,000 in Ether (ETH), making it one of the largest NFT hacks in 2022.
Premint is an NFT whitelisting service that helps NFT artists access a large number of verified NFT collectors quickly, whitelisting them for new NFT projects. The NFT services platform touts more than 12,000 NFT projects and a database of more than 2.4 million collectors.
According to blockchain security firm Certik, the thefts occurred on Sunday after hackers inserted malicious code into Premint’s website.
The code created a pop-up that prompted users to verify their wallet ownership but instead gave hackers the permissions necessary for them to transfer NFTs from their victim’s wallets.

Six wallets have been identified as falling victim to the attack, containing NFTs including Bored Ape Yacht Club, Otherside, Oddities and Goblintown.
Premint said it would continue to “dig into the incident” and reminded users that they would never be asked to sign any kind of transaction on the platform.
Continuăm să cercetăm acest incident, dar un memento:
❌ Nu vi se va cere niciodată, NICIODATĂ, să aprobați ORICE FEL DE tranzacție pe PREMINT.
✍️ Când conectați un portofel, vi se va cere să *semnați* un mesaj, dar nu va exista NICIODATĂ o taxă de gaz sau ceva asemănător unei tranzacții.

The platform has also changed in light of the attack, allowing users to log in without their wallets — which they claim will be safer and more convenient.
