On HyperEVM blockchain, a planned security breach targeted Hypurr NFT holders. On-chain records show an attacker stole 8+ airdropped NFTs in under an hour, selling them for roughly $400,000.
Details & On-Chain Evidence
The incident occurred on HyperEVM, Hyperliquid’s Layer-1 blockchain, seconds after the NFTs dropped.
Attacker’s Movement: Transaction records show extraordinary activity on the suspected attacker wallet 0x72785D42…e1a5238df. Multiple Hypurr NFTs (#2394, #4419, #4084, #4250) were transferred in from different wallets between 50 and 23 minutes ago.
Immediate Sale: NFTs were quickly sold on NFT marketplaces (likely Match Advance), showing the attacker used market liquidity for instant profit.
Hypurr NFT Value & Official Warning
The stolen collection is highly valuable:
- Given to Genesis Event participants in Nov 2024.
- Total supply capped at 4,600 NFTs.
- Users warned no new minting needed and to beware of scams.
The warning suggests NFTs were stolen from wallets compromised earlier via phishing or suspicious contract approvals, not during the airdrop itself.
Urgent Security Measures for Users
- Revoke Permissions: Use revoke.cash to cancel any old or suspicious smart contract approvals.
- Asset Transfer: Move remaining crypto and NFTs to a new secure wallet if keys may be compromised.
- The $HYPE team and security units are expected to release full details and attack mechanisms soon.
