What happened
Kevin Rose, the founder of the NFT project Moonbirds, tweeted that his personal wallet was hacked and 25 Chromie Squiggles and other NFTs were lost, with an estimated loss of more than $1 million. Arran Schlosberg, vice president of engineering at Proof Collective, said their NFTs are safe after Kevin Rose was hacked and lost $1 million.
