Nearly 142 Ether\u00a0(ETH) ($250,000) worth of NFTs was stolen after hackers gained access to the Discord account of a BAYC community manager and posted a message with a link to a fake website.<\/p>\n<p>The link advertised a limited-time free-NFT giveaway to users who connected their wallets, which were then drained of NFTs. During two prior occasions in April, hackers breached BAYC&#8217;s Discord and Instagram pages and managed to siphon 91 NFTs, worth over $1.3 million at the time of the second attempt, via a phishing link.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certik.com\/resources\/blog\/5zQ2MkBTCn6dHd6wl9ZJ7i-bored-ape-yacht-club-discord-hit-with-phishing-attack\">told<\/a> by blockchain security firm CertiK, hackers quickly moved stolen funds to obfuscation platform Tornado Cash, making it impossible to trace any further flow of funds on the blockchain. In a statement to Cointelegraph, sources at CertiK explained that however legitimate the project may seem, &#8220;NFT holders should also be highly suspicious of anyone claiming to offer free assets, as these can often be phishing attacks.&#8221; In addition, CertiK wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the case of the June 4th attack, the malicious carbon-copy site had some small differences. Firstly, there were no links to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> sites on the phishing site. There was also an added tab titled &#8220;claim free land&#8221; and specifically targeted popular NFT projects.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a precautionary measure, Certik recommended crypto enthusiasts look for subtle peculiarities on such sites, as they are frequently an indicator of malicious activity. &#8220;At the very least, users engaging with such giveaways should always make an effort to confirm the legitimacy of the site by comparing it with a known and confirmed site and looking for any discrepancies,&#8221; they concluded.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
