Crypto sleuth zachxbt has released research indicating that a cryptocurrency and NFT phishing scammer who goes by Loyalist/Lukas/Shibango has stolen more than $4 million of various assets from at least 416 victims from early 2022 until October 2022. zachxbt identified a slew of phishing websites and other phishing scams that stole both NFTs and cryptocurrency from a large number of victims throughout 2022, which he connected to the Eastern European scammer known as Loyalist. The stolen NFTs included more than 25 Yuga Labs Otherdeeds, more than 15 Meebits, and various others.
Although Loyalist had been largely inactive since October, shortly after zachxbt published his research in February 2023, Loyalist moved nearly $1 million in the DAI stablecoin out of one of the wallets identified by zachxbt.
