Hackers steal NFTs worth millions, from Apes to Art Blocks, in NFT Trader exploit
www.theblock.co
The major hack may be the worst attack to hit the NFT community in its history, with millions of dollars in potential losses.

The way I read the article, the “worth millions” is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

      It wouldn’t be the first time that somebody who should’ve known better gets taken in by hype.

      That said, I agree it’s unlikely.

      You can get “cybersecurity insurance”, but that usually has more holes than swiss cheese. Maybe an umbrella business policy might cover anything over a certain amount ($1,000).
