Peckshield Claims Half of its Stolen NFTs Were Sold Within Only 3 Hours

A notable blockchain security company, PeckShield, recently got attacked by cryptojackers and lost NFTs worth $2.27 million.

In a recent report from blockchain security organization, PeckShield, the company noted that half of its recently looted non-fungible tokens were sold within 3 hours on different NFT marketplaces, including OpenSea and Blur.

Also, PeckShield's report revealed that 50% of those NFTs were sold off within 160 minutes.

About $2.27 Million Worth of Stolen NFTs Were Sold

On July 3, Peckshield announced, in a post on Twitter, that the overall worth of the stolen NFTs was $2.27 million, marking the lowest amount stolen since January 2023.

Also, last month's figure shows a 23% decline from the previous month's figure, or $2.95 million. It was also more than 85% lower than the Year's highest looting amount of $16.2 million.

In addition, the floor price of notable NFT collections, such as Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Azuki Elementals, DeGods, and Otherdeed, have all plummeted.

This decline in value was partly because of the reduction in floor prices of the NFTs since they began to be stolen.

Besides that, PeckShield further noted that more than 50% of the stolen NFTs were traded immediately on different NFT marketplaces within three hours of the looting.

Blur recorded the most used marketplace for trading NFTs from all the marketplaces used.Almost 86% of all stolen non-fungible tokens were sold on Blur, while 13.76% were sold on OpenSea.

Thus, 99.76% of the ill-gotten NFTs were transacted using these two major marketplaces. The other two NFT marketplaces used were LooksRare and X2Y2.
