NFT Trader, a peer-to-peer non-fungible token trading platform, has suffered a set of multiple exploits leading to multi-million dollar losses in users’ assets. The incident occurred on December 16, with the bad actors carting away $3 million worth of tokens, including 13 Mutant Ape Yacht Club, 37 Bored Ape, some VeeFriends, and World of Women NFTs.
NFT Trader has since confirmed the attack via an X post advising users to revoke access to some of its old smart contracts, which it claims to have been compromised. According to a post by X user foobar, the attacks are now over after NFT Trader implemented a smart contract update to eliminate a reentrancy vulnerability on its platform.
