Nothing attracts a scammer more than money, and with the NFT craze generating a ton of sales, threat actors are trying to capitalize on it.
Ver the past year, NFTs have reached mainstream attention as artists sell their digital art for cryptocurrency at popular websites such as Rarible and OpenSea.
Just recently, an artist known as Beeple sold an NFT digital picture for over $60 million in Christie's auction.
"Typosquatting domains: Typosquatting domains are lookalike domains targeting a brand. They look very similar to the brand's legitimate domain and are hard to tell apart."
Rarible[.]com is the legitimate website of the famous NFT marketplace Rarible. rarbile[.]com is a typosquatting domain targeting Rarible," explains Bolster in their report.
Bolster expects scammers to continue targeting the NFT frenzy by creating fake NFT stores that steal buyers' cryptocurrency, counterfeit NFTs or artist impersonation, and fake giveaways.
