Yuga Labs blockchain vice president Quit posted on X that the asset claim website for NFTs stolen in the previous Payment Processor vulnerability incident has gone live. However, if an NFT collection uses the ERC721C or ERC1155C standard, its holders may temporarily be unable to claim assets through the NFT claim website. A number of NFT collections are currently affected by this issue. The relevant collections controlled by Yuga Labs are expected to be fixed by tomorrow. In the meantime, users can enable "7702 delegate OTC" in the transfer verifier settings, or add the specified Ethereum address and ApeChain address to the 7702 delegated address whitelist to remove the relevant restrictions.
Odaily report: According to RevokeCash monitoring, if users have previously traded NFTs on the Magic Eden Ethereum marketplace, their wallets may have granted approval to Limit Break's Payment Processor contract; this contract currently has a known vulnerability, and it is recommended to revoke the approval. Magic Eden previously stated that NFTs currently still listed on its platform are not affected by this vulnerability; NFTs listed through its EVM marketplace between approximately February 2024 and October 2024 may be affected, while listings after October 2024 are in principle not affected. Magic Eden is contacting protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to study other risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and continues to investigate the actual scope of impact.Users who have previously listed or traded NFTs on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace should revoke the relevant contract approvals on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks, and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all." Yuga Labs Blockchain Vice President Quit stated that the asset claim website for the Payment Processor vulnerability NFT theft incident has officially launched; affected users whose NFTs were successfully safeguarded can now claim, but must first revoke their approval to the Payment Processor.
Yuga Labs blockchain vice president Quit posted on X that the NFT theft incident asset claim website nftsaresafu.xyz has officially launched. Affected users whose NFTs were successfully preserved can now proceed with claims, but must first revoke authorization to PaymentProcessor.Quit stated that approximately $6 million worth of NFTs were successfully rescued this time, but some assets could not be preserved. Additionally, some NFT collections cannot be claimed at present due to Transfer Validator restrictions, and coordination with the relevant project teams will be handled in the coming days. The claim process involves EIP-7702 delegated wallets, which may cause transaction simulation anomalies or risk warnings on wallets such as Rabby.
Yuga Labs Blockchain VP Quit posted on X that the NFT theft claims portal currently being built is expected to go live within the next few hours, and a dedicated address nftsaresafu.eth has been created to accept donations in ETH and other tokens.Quit stated that in addition to investing significant time, they paid approximately $7,500 in gas fees last night to handle related matters, and thanked the community for its support through channels such as X Money.Earlier reports indicated that NFT marketplace Magic Eden appears to have suffered an NFT security vulnerability, with white-hat hackers moving 3,832 NFTs from hundreds of wallets, worth approximately $1.5 million.
