Incident Details
Another Discord scam netted its perpetrators around 800 SOL, or about $150,000, from 373 individuals. The scammer posted a fake minting link in the official Discord of Fractal, the upcoming NFT and blockchain gaming marketplace co-founded by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan. Fractal said it would be compensating all who fell for the scam. The scam was apparently made possible by a compromise of the “Grape Protocol” Discord tools, a hack that was also used to target members of the Monkey Kingdom NFT collection Discord that same day.
Total loss estimated at $150,000.
