Title: Discord hack steals Solana crypto from Fractal's in-game NFT channel subscribers
Post by: Redaktion on December 22, 2021, 14:06:46
Using Discord's webhooks interface, hackers gained access to the official channel of the new Fractal marketplace for in-game NFT trading, established by Twitch's co-founder Justin Kan. Instead of a link to a promised NFT Airdrop giveaway, Fractal's Discord channel subscribers got a malicious one that was used to grant access to their Solana crypto wallets. Ultimately, 373 Discord subs clicked on it and connected their wallets to the anonymous scam account only to see their SOL holdings emptied in record time. Fractal promised to compensate their losses and thanked the hackers for the free publicity. The marketplace, however, said it has engaged Discord in a security protocol discussion.
