BAYC Team Confirms Discord Hack A few hours ago, BAYC’s official Twitter account warned its followers against minting anything on Discord at the moment, confirming the recent hack of its official server. STAY SAFE. Do not mint anything from any Discord right now. A webhook in our Discord was briefly compromised. We caught it immediately but please know: we are not doing any April Fools stealth mints / airdrops etc. Other Discords are also being attacked right now. — Bored Ape Yacht Club (@BoredApeYC) April 1, 2022 According to security firm PeckShield, the hacker posted a phishing link in the Mutant Ape Kennel Club channel disguised as a ‘stealth NFT mint’ and used it steal Mutant Ape Yacht Club #8662 from one user.
