While the NFT sales volume shows a downtrend, a hacker called “Fake_Phishing182232” stole four Mutant Ape Yacht Club.
The hacker pocketed the collectibles MAYC #8265, #6840, #7840, and #4843 from MAYC’s platform.
The exploiter paid only $14.94 to transact the collectibles to his wallet, while all four transactions were completed within five seconds.
It’s important to note that MAYC’s sister collection, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), witnessed a significant decline of 90% in its average floor price. BAYC’s bottom price was around $600,000 in May 2022, but currently worth around $60,000.
Moreover, MAYC sales volume has risen by 77.7% in the past 24 hours, currently sitting at $573,000, according to CryptoSlam. While MAYC’s trading volume gained bullish momentum, the total NFT sales have dropped by over 20% — totaling $14.9 million at the time of writing.
The number of NFT buyers and transactions has also plunged to 55,288 and 217,860, respectively.
On the other hand, a report on July 3 shows that the amount of NFT thefts has fallen by 23% since May. Hackers have stolen roughly $2.27 million worth of digital collectibles in June, with the Blur marketplace becoming the favorite place with an 86% share of the looted NFTs.
