NFT artist Princess Hypio lost $170,000 in cryptocurrency and NFTs after agreeing to download a “game” from a link received on Discord. Downloading through a third-party source installed malware that gave hackers access to her device and wallets.
The scheme is simple: the attacker integrates into a community, builds trust, offers to “play,” and then sends a link. Once launched, the victim loses access to their assets.
Experts emphasize — these attacks don’t exploit code, they exploit trust. The main protection is to never download software from strangers and always verify the source.
