NFT Twitter called out Wizard Pass after the team downplayed the Wizard Pass Discord hack. As a result of this hack, the victims lost valuable NFTs and ETH.
Dape NFT co-founder @SerpentAU called out Wizard Pass on Twitter: “Yes, NFTs are being stolen but there’s no exploit or anything to be worried about. In this particular case, @WizardPassNFT’s discord was compromised. However, this isn’t just a regular fake minting website where you pay 0.1 ETH and get nothing; they have a script that finds your most valuable NFTs and requests token approval for them.”
@SerpentAU continued, “After sending the 0.1 ETH, the website will come up with another Metamask prompt, where it will request token approval. After confirming the transactions, the victim is essentially providing full access over their NFTs and transferring them to the scammers wallets.”
Dape NFT co-founder stressed the importance of Discord security. Additionally, he also referred victims to revoke.cash in order for them to revoke access from the contract.
Yesterday, the founder of Wizard Pass responded to the criticism. The founder also apologised to all those who fell victim to this scam. Furthermore, he confirmed that the project’s Discord server is back in operation and assured everyone that the team is contacting every person affected.
The method that this scammer used has been making the rounds. Amid the increase in NFT popularity, there has been an unprecedented rise in Discord hacks. Therefore, NFT project owners need to keep an eye on their Discord server to prevent such attacks. Thankfully, project owners can refer to serial entrepreneur Wilson K Lee’s tips on avoiding Discord hacks.
