The story began with the hacking of the Uncharted NFT game development studio’s Discord server. 109 users were affected and 150 SOL (~$6420) and 25 coins from the World of Solana (WOS) collection fell prey to the attacker. Among the latter were three rare NFTs that were among the top face of the MoonRank rating.
In total, the collection contains 2222 unique female avatar images. The average selling price in the last 24 hours was 3 LEFT (~$128.4). The most expensive WOS #1874 coin for sale is priced at 123 SOL or approximately $5264.
The WOS team devised a plan to recover the stolen NFTs. He contacted the development partner CyberFrogsNFT and asked him to determine the size. Copyright at 98% versus the usual 5% for tokens.
“He set a trap and we asked our community to watch. [маркетплейсом] Magic Heaven,” WOS said.
The hacker put all 25 stolen NFTs up for sale two days later. Community members managed to buy 15 coins, 10 more coins sniping It was bought by an investor known as FamousFoxFed.
WOS developers have contacted him for refunds and return NFTs to their owners.
“The lesson to be learned from the story is to always use a separate burning wallet and be careful when printing money. The WOS team said it’s the second time our community has recovered NFTs stolen by scammers.
Recall that in May, an unknown person broke into the Discord server of the OpenSea NFT marketplace and posted a link to a phishing site.
