The first one to pay attention to this case was user X under the pseudonym WazzCrypto. He reported that all assets were withdrawn from a wallet that had been inactive for 160 days.
I logged into MetaMask for the first time in months. According to Cuban, they should have been watching.
According to Etherscan, among the withdrawn assets are USDC and USDT stablecoins, NFT marketplace tokens Rarible (RARI) and SuperRare (RARE), and other coins.
And I'm pretty sure I downloaded a version of MetaMask with some crap in it. I just stopped," the billionaire explained.
To safeguard the funds, Cuban transferred another $2 million in USDC to bitcoin exchange Coinbase.
In June 2021, Cuban was among those affected by the devaluation of the IRON Finance project token as a result of a "banking panic."
According to blockchain analyst ZachXBT, the damage caused by the attackers amounted to more than $691,000. In September 2023, a group of hackers hacked Vitalik Buterin's X profile and published a fraudulent post.
According to the Ethereum founder, the hack was committed thanks to SIM card swapping.
