Security News > 2022 > May > Ferrari subdomain hijacked to push fake Ferrari NFT collection
One of Ferrari's subdomains was hijacked yesterday to host a scam promoting fake Ferrari NFT collection, according to researchers.
The Ethereum wallet associated with the cryptocurrency scam appears to have collected a few hundred dollars before the hacked subdomain was shut down.
Last year, Ferrari announced plans to launch NFT products in partnership with tech firm Velas, making this scam all very convincing.
The crypto scam titled "Mint your Ferrari" enticed visitors to buy NFT tokens, falsely touting that Ferrari introduced "a collection of 4,458 horsepower [sic] NFTs on the Ethereum network."
Super interesting: looks like scammers found a subdomain takeover on "Https://t.co/qb9JqK2oL9" and are using it to host an NFT scam.
Last month popular NFT marketplace Rarible was targeted by scammers and malware authors.
