On Monday, April 25, the Instagram account of the popular NFT collection Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) was hacked. According to BAYC, the hacker conducted a phishing scheme that resulted in the theft of millions of dollars in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from the account's followers.
The BAYC collection consists of 10,000 NFTs of computer-generated apes made by Yuga Labs. Having launched last April, the Apes have become immensely popular, with the entire collection driving global sales of over $1 billion.
