NFT God
Fraud on Jan 14, 2023 · Malicious Software
What happened
Encrypted KOL NFT God tweeted that due to hackers hacking into its Twitter, Substack, Gmail, Discord and wallets, it lost all its encrypted assets and NFTs, and the hackers also posted fraudulent links through the stolen accounts. The reason for being hacked was that the Ledger was set as a hot wallet instead of a cold wallet on the new device, and the mnemonic was imported and used in the wallet on the networked computer. Then yesterday, after downloading the video streaming software OBS for the game live broadcast, I clicked on Google. The sponsored links of the website downloaded malware that gave hackers access to their funds. Yu Xian, the founder of SlowMist, said that the core reason is that the computer runs a game program with a Trojan horse, and then the mnemonic of encrypted assets is connected to the Internet on this computer, so it may be stolen by hackers.
