Invading the well-known NFT brand’s Instagram account on Monday, the hacker uploaded a link to a purported airdrop that promised to offer current Bored Ape owners a free allotment of land in the future Otherside metaverse. However, the post’s URL was a phishing scheme. The Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs of users who opened it and connected their cryptocurrency wallet were taken.

The con artist made off with a sizable profit.

Not only were BAYC NFTs impacted by the scam, but one user also lost a Clone X NFT worth over $54,000.

Each piece from Yuga Labs’ first NFT collection, Bored Ape Yacht Club, currently costs at least $430,000. (145 ether). In the Bored Apes’ canon of the BAYC, there is a group of canines known as the Bored Ape Kennel Club. These airdrops, which were given away for free to Bored Ape holders in June, currently sell for at least $42,000. (14 ether). Last but not least, the Mutant Ape Yacht Club collection debuted in August of last year and now has a floor price of $117,000 for all current BAYC holders (39 ether).
