Incident Details

NFT influencer 0x_fxnction reported that his wallet had been compromised, and 2349 SOL (~$240,000) had been stolen. The money had primarily been profit from the DeGods project, he said, and was unwisely stored in one hot wallet because it was “meant to help buy a house and was being withdrawn in the next weeks”.He said he hadn’t used the wallet to mint any NFTs since October, and said he had revoked all access to minting websites since then. He wrote that he was unsure how the compromise had happened: “My best guess: an old minting site from October still had access to my wallet, even after ‘revoking’ happened in Phantom…. But honestly, it’s just a guess.”

Total loss estimated at $240,000.
