NFPrompt Faces Major Security Breach

In a recent X post, the disclosure by NFPrompt regarding a security breach has sent shockwaves rippling across the cryptocurrency landscape. According to the platform’s official statement, hackers managed to compromise several wallets, including those belonging to NFP’s contract administrators, gaining unauthorized access to users’ funds, including a portion of NFP’s treasury and ecosystem fund.

Meanwhile, the platform has assured the users that the response from NFPrompt has been swift and resolute. To contain the breach, the platform swiftly transferred all NFP smart contract ownerships to new addresses, effectively cutting off the attack vector and ensuring the safety of users’ assets.

In addition, the FBI has been enlisted to assist in apprehending the hackers, with major centralized exchanges (CEXs) notified to freeze any funds associated with the malicious actors. Besides, amid escalating concerns, NFPrompt has embarked on a collaborative approach to address the aftermath of the breach.

According to its recent statement, NFPrompt has partnered with leading Web3 security firms, SlowMist and Chainalysis. Notably, the platforms aim to monitor the on-chain activities of the hackers and trace token swaps to unveil their identities and affiliates.

User Safety In Focus

NFPrompt has issued a series of precautionary measures to safeguard users’ assets. These include urging users to only engage in NFP transactions through reputable CEXs, cautioning against interaction with unofficial NFP contracts or private over-the-counter channels, and advising vigilance against phishing attempts and scams.

Meanwhile, as the investigation unfolds, NFPrompt remains steadfast in its commitment to fortify the security infrastructure of its smart contracts, wallets, and user assets. However, this breach serves as a poignant reminder for the entire crypto community to prioritize cybersecurity measures to ensure the integrity and safety of the evolving AI and Web3 ecosystem.

Notably, the NFPrompt price declined 14.80% to $0.7866, with its trading volume soaring 62.63% to $131.21 million. However, the decline is partially attributed to the significant sell-off witnessed in the broader crypto market today.

Meanwhile, the NFP price has added nearly 20% over the last 30 days, while slipping nearly 15% over the last seven days.
