Rug Pull Finder, an NFT watchdog, has its own NFT giveaway abused
The NFT watchdog, which focuses on exposing Web3 fraud, had a vulnerability that allowed two attackers to create 450 NFTs instead of one for each wallet. The developers acknowledged that the exploit was caused by a bug in their smart contract that was discovered 30 minutes before the mint went live by an unnamed source.
The Rug Pull Finder team made an offer to one of the hackers to resolve the issue by trading 330 of the NFTs for a bounty of 2.5 ETH, and the hacker accepted the deal. Ironically, the free NFT mint featured artworks of con artists who roam free on the blockchain under the label Bad Guys.
