    NFTs reportedly stolen from influencer CryptoNovo, flipped for at least $525,000

    Crypto influencer CryptoNovo tweeted, “I just got hacked!!! Are you kidding me!?!” with a screenshot of valuable CryptoPunk NFTs being transferred from their account. An attacker apparently transferred from CryptoNovo’s wallet two or three CryptoPunks, one Bored Ape, one Mutant Ape, three Meebits, and two CloneX NFTs — all “blue chip” NFTs that fetch high prices.

    The thief quickly flipped all of the NFTs for around 417 ETH ($525,000). It’s unclear if one of the CryptoPunks was stolen, as it was transferred to a wallet to whom CryptoNovo has previously made transfers, but that NFT too was sold for 75 ETH ($94,200).

    The thief made a pretty penny, but the loss to CryptoNovo is more substantial based on how much money they spent on the NFTs. They had purchased the Bored Ape in August 2021 for 30 ETH (then around $100,000), and CryptoPunk #4608 in September 2021 for 290 ETH (then $850,000).

    The attack appears to have been phishing-related.
