Mintable Recovers NFTs Stolen in OpenSea phishing attack

Mintable was able to retrieve three NFTs that were stolen in recent OpenSea phishing attacks and promise to return them to their rightful owners.

Mintable discovered the stolen NFTs and purchased Azuki #1178, #4176, and #1180 for about 13.35 ETH apiece during their flash sale.

The platform contacted the Azuki project to assist them in identifying community members who own the recovered NFTs and then establishing a communication route to verify that the NFTs are secure after recovery.

On Twitter, Mintable's CEO and founder, Zach Burks, said they recovered some of the stolen NFTs and "decided to buy them and give them back to people they were stolen from."

"We need help from the NFT community to find the rightful owners of the 3 azukis, tokens - 1180, 1178, 4176. Then once we can verify they controlled those wallets we will send them their NFTs back to a new wallet of their choice," Zach Burks said.

He went on to say that none of the victims had received any answer from OpenSea regarding the remedies that would be presented to them. "Sadly it looks like even though they have over a billion in cash on hand, they can't afford a 1.7m refund to their users," he says.

The mintable marketplace's gesture, however, indicates its dedication to creating and maintaining a secure environment in which NFT investors, buyers, and holders can conduct business in peace.

Mintable is an Ethereum-based platform that allows users to create, distribute, buy, sell, and trade non-fungible tokens to generate, distribute, buy, sell, and trade digital files on the blockchain (NFTs).
