Digital artist Beeple\u2019s Twitter account was hacked today as part of a phishing scam that appears to have stolen more than $70,000 in Ethereum.<\/p>\n

According to the NFT artist and others on Twitter\u2014including Harry Denley, a security expert at cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask\u2014Beeple\u2019s account temporarily shared a phishing link that, if clicked on, would steal users\u2019 crypto.<\/p>\n

The tweet shared a link to a dodgy website pretending to be a \u201craffle\u201d of Beeple\u2019s Louis Vuitton collaboration (Beeple first collaborated with the fashion brand back i<\/a>n 2019). But when people clicked on the link, one Ethereum was automatically drained from their wallets, according to Denley.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the blockchain upon which most NFTs are built. At time of writing, one Ethereum was worth a little over $2,000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Denley added that over $50,000 in Ethereum had been stolen and that bad actors continued to use Beeple\u2019s Twitter account for another, more \u201csophisticated\u201d scam\u2014$72,165.60 total had been stolen by the address when Decrypt<\/i> last checked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
