Hackers steal over $750K by taking over Azuki’s Twitter account
By MYBRANDBOOK
Popular nonfungible token (NFT) project Azuki’s Twitter account was compromised, allowing hackers to steal more than $750,000 USD Coin by posting a malicious “wallet drainer link” posing as a virtual land mint.
The coins were stolen from a single wallet within half an hour of the malicious links being tweeted. The data also revealed that hackers also stole $6,752 worth of USDC from various wallets holding 11 NFTs and over 3.9 Ether.
Azuki’s head of community and product manager, Dem, explained on a Twitter Space hosted by Wallet Guard that scammers were able to “post a wallet drainer link” after gaining control of Azuki’s Twitter account. Dem urged users to “stay safe and stay suspicious” while the team attempted to regain control of the account.
Liz Yang, Head of growth at Chiru Labs, the company behind Azuki, said that the team is “currently in contact with Twitter and investigating the breach,” noting that Azuki “will provide an update once we have more information.”
