BAYC #6000 NFT stolen via Limit Break exploit; victim requesting 85% WETH recovery from Blur sale proceeds or will pursue legal action.
Security & Exploits ·
A holder of BAYC #6000 reports that the NFT was taken from their wallet through a Limit Break exploit and subsequently sold on Blur. In an on-chain message, the owner requested that the recipient return 85% of the proceeds from the sale, framing the demand as a white-hat bounty resolution rather than pursuing law enforcement or blockchain investigation services in the US and France.
The Limit Break vulnerability appears to have allowed unauthorized access and transfer of the NFT without the owner's permission. The victim emphasized their long-standing involvement in the BAYC community since its inception and expressed concern about the impact of the theft on their holdings and reputation within the broader crypto space.
Whether the recipient will respond to the settlement proposal, counter-offer an alternative resolution, or maintain possession of the proceeds remains unclear. The timeline and status of any potential negotiations or external investigations have not been disclosed.
