Biggest Solana NFT collections plan to bridge to Ethereum and Polygon

Solana NFT projects y00ts and DeGods have announced plans to bridge to Ethereum and Polygon early next year and make the jump from 'up-and-comer' to 'NFT Blue Chip'. We guess it's time for a champagne toast, as these two collections might become high rollers!

It's been a wild ride for DeGods and y00ts, both created on the Solana blockchain in October 2021 by Rohun Vora. It certainly looks like their bet has paid off - with floor prices increasing steadily, these two collections are making big moves to take over the NFT market. On Solana they were trendsetters, now they're ready to be the rulers of Ethereum and Polygon!

The DeGods collection will try to compete with Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, and other blue chip NFTs on Ethereum with a floor price of 460.00 SOL ($5,221). Meanwhile, y00ts will move to Polygon with a floor price of 140 SOL ($1600) and take advantage of the faster and cheaper transactions.

The NFT market has been an interesting playground for the past year, and 2023 promises to be even better.

$8m stolen from BitKeep users through spoofed crypto wallet app

Another day, another hack in the space. It seems that the world of cryptocurrencies has become a playground for hackers, as yet another big heist takes place. This time, it was BitKeep users that fell victim to a malicious hack, with the hackers managing to steal an estimated $8M from unsuspecting users.

An investigation by blockchain security firm Peckshield revealed that hackers had created a spoofed version of the BitKeep wallet app, which users unknowingly downloaded. The result? Those who used this unknown version lost their funds to the malicious actors.

BitKeep's developers have officially confirmed the hack on their Telegram channel, indicating that hackers manipulated certain APK package downloads which caused users to lose their funds. To prevent further losses, BitKeep recommended that the affected users transfer their funds to wallets downloaded from official sources.

It looks like crypto-hackers are here to stay, so better be mindful of what apps you're downloading and always double check the source before entering your password - because you never know who's lurking in the dark corners of the internet.

North Korean hackers plague the NFT space

What price are you willing to pay for digital art? $10,000? $100,000? How about your data and your whole wallet? A new phishing campaign has been uncovered that involves North Korean hackers targeting unsuspecting NFT users on platforms such as OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible.

These hackers attempt to fool NFT buyers into purchasing legitimate-looking tokens on these websites, only for them to be directed to fraudulent sites during the minting process. By doing so, the hackers try to extract valuable data - including IP addresses - from unsuspecting users, of course, right after they "dust" their wallets.

A blockchain security company SlowMist recently exposed this malicious phishing campaign, but it's unclear just how many people have been impacted by it. According to the company, over 500 domains were found to be associated with this scheme and the hackers have been doing it for months. What makes matters worse is that they reportedly captured 1,055 NFTs and made a profit of around 300 Ethereum, or more than $350,000.

The moral of the story? Always check the authenticity of the website before you connect your wallet to it.
