According to project representatives, a “critical security incident” occurred that allowed a group of attackers to compromise some wallets and gain control of assets.
The criminals also managed to hack the wallets of smart contract administrators.
Shortly after the incident was discovered, the developers transferred all permissions for the platform’s smart contracts to new addresses in order to “block the attack vector.”
NFPrompt advised users not to accept NFP from untrusted sources and to trade assets only on reputable centralized exchanges.
The amount of damage has not yet been disclosed, but the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has already become involved in the case.
NFPrompt (“non-fungible prompts”) launched in 2023 as an artificial intelligence platform for creating and trading images as NFTs.
Recently spun off venture capital firm Binance Labs has selected NFPrompt as one of 12 projects in the sixth phase of its incubation program in September 2023.
According to CoinGeckoafter the attack, the native token of the NFP project fell by 15% – from $0.95 to $0.8.
