Incident Details
A trader known by taylorRichie.eth agreed to swap their Morie NFT for a Doodle, in a trade they’d coordinated with a user on Discord. Because OpenSea doesn’t support trading one NFT for another, only buying and selling them for crypto, the traders had to use a different, less-known swap platform to perform the trade. Although taylorRichie.eth took precautions, like typing in the URL themselves instead of clicking a link, they were still fooled into signing a malicious transaction that transferred a different NFT in their wallet, a Mutant Ape, to the scammer. The scammer then quickly flipped the stolen NFT to another buyer for 22 ETH ($73,585).
Total loss estimated at $73,585.
