Incident Overview
On July 16, hackers compromised the Twitter account of well-known NFT artist DeeKay. The 180,000 followers of DeeKay's hacked Twitter account saw it post a link announcing a limited number of new airdrops, which directed them to a phishing site that mimicked DeeKay's real site. One victim lost 4 Cool Cat NFTs and 3 Azuki NFTs with reserve prices around 4 ETH (~$5,350) and 12 ETH (~$16,200) respectively. The total value of the stolen NFTs was approximately $150,000. DeeKay said he wasn't sure how his Twitter account was stolen, but "guessed that 2FA was shut down at a specific time."
