Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles


Dear Bankless Nation,

A new type of NFT scam started raging across Twitter this week.

I’ve seen a few people fall prey to the nefarious ploy already, so I wanted to highlight what to watch out for. The flow is as follows:

  1. Attackers purchase a verified Twitter account, then change the account info to superficially pose as a co-founder of the Azuki NFT collection. 

  2. They follow-up with a tweet about a “surprise mint,” though the link is to a malicious site designed as a trap to compromise unsuspecting NFT collectors. 

  3. Finally, the culprits tag NFT collectors in tweets below the attack tweet hoping to bring as many eyes in as possible.

Hackers are going to keep developing new ways to try to steal choice NFTs like this. Remain vigilant in kind, adapt your security practices, and if something seems weird then ask and wait for guidance from others you trust!

-WMP
