Two Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs have been stolen by a cyber thief known as  Fake_Phishing182232.

The NFT bandit, known only by the name of their ethereum wallet, first became active on June 23. In the week since, Fake_Phishing182232 has become notorious for scamming victims out of dozens of NFTs through phishing links.

Stolen BAYC NFTs Sold For 70.44 ETH 

On Saturday, the NFT thief pulled off the highest value heist yet with the theft of the Bored Apes #2330 and #8177. The security researcher PeckShield Alert first drew attention to the theft.

Shortly after they were stolen, the NFTs were sold on the Blur marketplace for a combined 70.44 ETH (around $135,500 USD).

Studying Fake_Phishing182232’s transaction history reveals that dozens of other Ethereum wallets have fallen victim to the phishing hack. 

NFTs from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, and Killabears collections are among the stolen assets. Like the BAYC examples, the most valuable of these were quickly flipped on Blur.
