Goner told investors that the company would never conduct surprise mints, a popular method attackers use to lure victims. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Cointelegraph asked Yuga Labs for more details about the \u201cpersistent threat group\u201d and the potential attack but did not receive an immediate response. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premint_NFT_website_hacked\"><\/span>Premint NFT website hacked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yuga Labs&#8217; new warning comes only days after threat actors hacked popular NFT platform Premint NFT, stealing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately 314 NFTs and $375,000 in Ethereum (ETH), making it one of the largest NFT hacks in 2022. <\/p>\n<p>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.
