Moonbirds founder Kevin Rose lost dozens of NFTs worth at least $1 million due to a wallet hack.
I was just hacked, stay tuned for details — please avoid buying any squiggles until we get them flagged (just lost 25) + a few other NFTs (an autoglyph) …

According to The Block, Rose kept 87 collectible tokens that were kept separately. The stolen assets include NFTs from the Cool Cats, Squiggles and OnChainMonkeys collections.
Allegedly, Rose’s wallet was compromised by signing a malicious Seaport package. The option allows the OpenSea platform to move user assets on its own.
be super careful when signing anything, even offchain signatures. kevin rose just had ~$2 million worth of NFTs drained from his vault from signing one malicious seaport bundle. thankfully a couple things held back, like the punk zombie (1000 ETH) which can’t be traded on OS pic.twitter.com/GXHR3NQHLf

The first person to notice the hack was a Twitter user named Cirrus. He noted that Rose was probably tricked into signing a transaction that created a private listing for the assets on OpenSea.
It looks like @kevinrose wallet was just compromised…

Recall that in April 2022, the Proof startup behind Moonbirds raised $10 million from the venture capital company of Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Seven Seven Six.
