Digital art marketplace Nifty Gateway is a victim of hacking over the weekend as its users' accounts were compromised, and artworks were stolen.
NFT hacking
Some users of NFT reported that their whole accounts of digital certificates of authenticity for digital assets, also known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or nifities, were drained. However, even after they changed their passwords, some users said that the hackers were still not kicked out of their accounts.
Some users reported that the digital assets stolen from their accounts were then sold on Discord or Twitter. Other users reported that hackers also stole their credit card information, and they started using it to make purchases of other art up to $20,000.
