There is big question arising after this attack. I’m thinking now whether the NFT value will depreciate after this or will increase after this incidence because it has been victim of hacks. Lolz.
I don’t know but I’m thinking those NFT which got stolen will have no value and peeps gonna dislike the NFT right away and they will stop bidding on it. Not sure if the ownership is also transferred with this hack and what kinda damage overall it got.
This is the story which will make everyone think that even NFT is not secure neither the funds on exchangers were.

According to on-chain analysis, most of the NFTs were sold, netting the hacker 286 ETH, worth over $795,500, most of which was promptly put through Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer used to obfuscate the source of funds.
A slate of similar phishing scams have occurred in recent months on Discord, suggesting some teams need to more carefully consider the security on admin accounts. Earlier today, the Rare Bears team posted that they had hired security consultant and auditor “Pandez” for a full security audit of its Discord.
