Last month, some users of the leading NFT marketplace OpenSea fell victim to a phishing attack that claimed around $1.7 million worth of digital collectibles. Malicious actors have now moved over to the recently-launched Rare Bears NFT project, with users losing NFTs and other cryptocurrency assets worth around $790,000 in a phishing attack.
The Rare Bears team revealed that the hacker took advantage of the weakened security in its Discord group to spread a phishing link.
The NFT collection, which consists of 2,400 cartoon-themed bears on Ethereum, was created by New Zealand-based digital “Enox” and only went public last week.
