Late last year, the NFT space got a shock when prominent New York art collector Todd Kramer took to Twitter to air his grievance over the theft of his NFT collection on OpenSea.
The collection had an estimated value of over $2 million.
“I have been hacked. All my apes gone. This just sold please help me,” wrote Todd Kramer, of New York’s Ross + Kramer Gallery, in a since-deleted tweet.
The blockchain's seemingly safe and secure nature was suddenly put into the spotlight. There've been similar cases before, but nothing of the sheer volume and value of NFTs stolen.
