The latest hack in the crypto space witnessed a heist of over $375k on the Premint<\/a> NFT registration platform. The platform has since provided updates on the matter in the aftermath of the hacking.<\/p>\n

The attacks on NFTs are becoming far more frequent.<\/p>\n

Just another day at work<\/h3>\n

Co-ordinated hacks are becoming a prominent theme in the crypto world. The infiltrator \u201cmanipulated a file\u201d on Premint which presented the users with a malicious wallet connection. Later, the platform had to take down the site for security reasons.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Brenden Mulligan, Founder of Premint NFT, released new security updates for the platforms on 8 July. In his tweet<\/a>, he had said,<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we made a lot of great security updates to PREMINT as a continuing effort to keep collectors safe.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The platform, however, suffered an attack late on 16 July by a malicious actor.<\/p>\n

\n

This issue only affected users who connected a wallet via this dialog after midnight Pacific time. <\/p>\n

Thanks to the incredible web3 community spreading warnings, a relatively small number of users fell for this.<\/p>\n

We took the site down early this morning to fix the issue. pic.twitter.com\/Wq9FyRtIMl<\/a><\/p>\n
