According to project representatives, there was a "critical security incident" that allowed a group of attackers to compromise some wallets and gain control of assets.

Criminals also managed to hack the wallets of smart contract administrators.

Shortly after the incident was discovered, the developers transferred all permissions for the platform's smart contracts to new addresses in order to"block the attack vector".

NFPrompt advised users not to accept NFPs from untrusted sources and to trade assets only on reputable centralized exchanges.

"We are committed to protecting the interests of NFP owners and supporters. Tokens associated with hackers will be marked and confiscated," the project team said.

The amount of damage has not yet been disclosed, but the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has already joined the case.

NFPrompt ("non-interchangeable promptes") was launched in 2023 as an artificial intelligence platform for creating images and trading them in the form of NFTs.

Recently spun off into a standalone business, venture capital firm Binance Labs has selected NFPrompt as one of 12 projects in the sixth phase of its incubation program in September 2023.

According to CoinGecko, after the attack, the native token of the NFP project fell by 15% - from $0.95 to $0.8.
