TechFlow news — Arthur, founder of Defiance Capital, revealed on Twitter the cause of his hot wallet hack. Arthur said he received a phishing email with an attachment from one of Defiance Capital's portfolio companies, and the content was related to the crypto industry. The attachment appeared to be a normal PDF document upon opening, so Arthur did not suspect anything at the time.
This morning, OpenSea data showed that 60 NFTs—including 17 Azukis and 5 CloneXs—were transferred off-chain from Arthur’s wallet address, valued at no less than $850,000 based on floor prices at the time.
Arthur suspects this was a targeted, socially engineered attack, stating, "They might be targeting all major figures in crypto." (Source link)
