Yuga Labs projects are the lat­est vic­tims of Dis­cord hacks after hack­ers got access to Bored Apes and Oth­er­side servers.

It appears that the hack­ers got access to the servers by exploit­ing the account of the com­mu­ni­ty man­ag­er, Boris Vagn­er. Once they got access, they exe­cut­ed a phish­ing attack, steal­ing 145 ETH.

Onchain ana­lyst OKHot­shot first broke the news on Twit­ter, say­ing that “Prop­er per­mis­sions could pre­vent this.” Blockchain secu­ri­ty firm Peck­Shield con­firmed this hack soon after.

The hack­ers used the usu­al approach of a give­away to lure peo­ple into click­ing on the phish­ing link. The post claims it’s an exclu­sive give­away for BAYC, MAYC, and Oth­er­side hold­ers. Those who clicked on the link imme­di­ate­ly had their wal­lets compromised.

Accord­ing to Peck­Shield, they stole 32 NFTs, includ­ing 1 Bored Ape, 2 Mutant Apes, 5 Oth­erdeeds, and 1 Bored Ken­nel. Yuga Labs and Bored Apes are yet to release any offi­cial state­ments about the hack.

Not the first time

This isn’t the first time that the Bored Apes Dis­cord serv­er has been hacked, although it appears the recent one is more sig­nif­i­cant. Less than 2 months ago, hack­ers breached Bored Apes Dis­cord Serv­er and Insta­gram page and post­ed a link about a mint.

At the time, the fake mint was for the upcom­ing Oth­er­side Meta, which launched lat­er that week. Those who clicked the link lost access to their wal­let.

Bored Apes Twit­ter page was quick to alert users about the hack at the time. OpenSea data showed the trans­fer of about 24 Bored Apes and 30 Mutant Apes. But it’s pos­si­ble they didn’t steal all these assets, and some own­ers just moved their NFTs for secu­ri­ty reasons.

Oth­er projects have also expe­ri­enced sim­i­lar sit­u­a­tions in recent times. A few weeks ago, Axie Infin­i­ty claimed there was a com­pro­mise of MEE6 Bot on its Dis­cord serv­er. Although the MEE6 team denied this, many oth­er projects made the same claim.
