The Twitter account of top non-fungible token (NFT) project, Azuki, was compromised on Friday, resulting in the loss of over $750,000 worth of crypto assets. Following a takeover of the project’s account yesterday afternoon, hackers posted a wallet drainer link disguised as an invitation for users to participate in a virtual land mint in The Garden, Azuki’s native metaverse platform.

In the hours following the cyber attack, Azuki has been able to reclaim control of its Twitter account, pulling down the malicious tweets. The management team of the anime-based NFT project also released a statement saying an investigation was already underway while advising its followers to check that any future announcements were posted simultaneously on Azuki’s several media channels to ascertain their validity. 

Interestingly, this will not be the first time the Azuki NFT project was the main character in a social media crypto scandal.
