In NFTs on Blur Marketplace Scammers Steal 240000

A skilled scammer has successfully pulled off a phishing scam on the Blur marketplace, stealing NFTs valued at $239,676. The victim, known as 0xQuit on X, reported the theft, which involved six Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, 40 Beanz, and three Elementals. The scammer exploited a loophole in Blur’s system to conduct private sales against platform rules, using a nominal price of one wei each to avoid detection. By manipulating the royalty settings, the attacker was able to bypass the requirement for public accessibility and enable private sales, ensuring that all proceeds were redirected to their address. This sophisticated scam has raised concerns in the crypto community, as scammers are finding new ways to deceive people and circumvent platform policies.
