Beeple’s Followers Lose $438,000 To Phishing Scam After NFT Artist’s Twitter Gets Hacked

The hackers appeared to gain control of Beeple’s account for several hours on Sunday, during which time they changed the artist’s Twitter bio to advertise a raffle for a fake collection with Louis Vuitton – with which Beeple collaborated in 2019 — and posted two messages with links that actually directed users to a phishing scam, according to ArtNet.

A phishing link in the first of two tweets posted during Beeple’s account during that time brought in about 36 ether, or $73,000, while a second scammed the artist’s followers out of $365,000 worth of various cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

When followers clicked through either of the two links, the attack would drain crypto and NFTs from users’ cryptocurrency wallets.
