Start your journey at [malicious link] before the portal closes.\u201d Eventually, Twitter was able to reclaim control of the account and delete the post, but the damage had already been done.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter users immediately responded to the post asking why their wallets had been drained. Some holders even lost <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/bored-ape-yacht-club-the-avatar-collectibles-with-the-biggest-community\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bored Apes<\/a> worth nearly $100k at a minimum. Since blockchain transactions are irreversible, these victims do not have a recourse to recover their NFTs or crypto, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, hackers were able to gain access to his account via a phishing attack. A phishing attack happens when someone clicks on a bad link and inadvertently installs malware on their device. This malware can steal passwords and other login info.<\/p>\n<p>Since the incident, Alegre\u2019s account has been scrubbed of any malicious info and his PFP is now a blank avatar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103248\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103248\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103248 perfmatters-lazy\" alt=\"Yuga Labs NFTs have been a favorite target of Web3 hackers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC.png 1200w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-300x176.png 300w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-1024x601.png 1024w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-768x450.png 768w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-95x56.png 95w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-150x88.png 150w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-450x264.png 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103248\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC.png\" alt=\"Yuga Labs NFTs have been a favorite target of Web3 hackers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC.png 1200w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-300x176.png 300w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-1024x601.png 1024w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-768x450.png 768w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-95x56.png 95w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-150x88.png 150w,   https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-Hack-BAYC-450x264.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hackers have had great success targeting Yuga holders<br \/>Image Credit: Boardroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Has_this_happened_before\"><strong>Has this happened before?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Losing assets is nothing new to the Bored Ape Yacht Club community.
