Hey yo,
Got something for ya
Yuga labs are behind making the famous bored ape yacht club, cryptopunks and others.
The email platform MailChimp was hacked leading to the compromised accounts of Yuga labs.
Though the NFTs were safe, the company reassured the crypto community.
The incident happened on Jan 11 but the incident was tweeted on Jan 19 and it began taking action soon the other day after the incident was reported. Many customers were affected.
Though Yuga labs have used the service a few times but they felt it necessary to disclose such info out of caution.
The MailChimp service was used for a different purpose and involved only a few of individuals so it has nothing to do with NFT minting.
MailChimp told the community that t would contact only some individuals from Yuga labs if the data was impacted. The users should still excercise caution.
This is the second time MailChimp was hacked in six months time and the previous time it happened using social engineering and was largely related to cryptocurrency.
Thanks for the read.
Hey, just be cautious and enjoy your days.
