CityDAO, the experiment in decentralized land ownership, fell victim to a $95,000 hack. According to the group’s Twitter account, the attacker was chop one of the admin accounts of the project on Discord.On January 15, CityDAO, an Ethereum-based community blockchain city project, tweeted that the CityDAO Discord administrator account had been hacked. 29.67 ETH ($95,000) funds were stolen by hackers using stolen admin accounts to post fake land airdrop messages. The attacked administrator, “Lyons800,” tweeted that the attack was a “ridiculous security breach from Discord.”

The attackers posted a fake from the administrator’s hacked account, earning €29.67 ($95,000) in the process.The affected administrator “Lyons800” later tweeted that the attack was “a ridiculous security breach by Discord”.

This is the second major hack by Discord in less than a month. On December 21, Justin Suga’s NFT platform Fractal was compromised, and an attacker took over the project’s account and posted phishing links to users promoting the new NFT, resulting in a loss of about $150,000.

A warming reminder from the Lunaray technology security team: each platform should pay close attention to checking its own vulnerabilities to avoid security losses caused by hacker attacks; investors should also pay attention to the security of their own assets, and do not click on unknown links to avoid asset loss.
