heard a super dope story the other day about a guy who owns an ape but doesn‘t use social media to stay updated.
he didn‘t even knew that otherside launched nor existed.🤣
he just loves his ape and the club.
long story short i felt so inspired to do the same and decided to leave ct.
the club is in good hands and on the right way, but ct isn‘t.
in unfortunately a lot of ways and i can‘t identify myself with it anymore.
all the best to all of you and bye for now

The story of how a hacker stole all my NFTs from my wallet, including MAYC #111
Read to the end to avoid getting into the same situation.
It happened on February 9th, and I've been trying to figure out what happened ever since.
When I got to work, I decided to check the latest news on X and discovered I'd been hacked. I immediately filed a support ticket. Then, after some time, I decided to check the price of Otherdeeds Expanded on OpenSea and add another NFT to my collection. I thought the OpenSea platform was glitching, since my balance was only 32 USD.
I decided to check everything and discovered that all the NFTs had been sold from my wallet:
⛔️ MAYC #111
⛔️ 6 Otherdeeds Expanded
⛔️ 10 Variance
⛔️ 4 Somzies
⛔️ 1 Quills
⛔️ 3 Neuro Nemesis
⛔️ 1 Mullet Cop
⛔️ All $ETH and $SOMI were also withdrawn.
I can't describe my feelings at that moment, but I can say that for the next three nights, I couldn't sleep, just staring at the ceiling and wondering how I could have let this happen and what to do next.
After all, I had put so much effort into building this portfolio.
I truly earned this money honestly, and I couldn't even imagine that something like this could happen to me.
When we read yet another post about a crypto exchange being hacked or how a hacker stole a large sum of money from some wallet, we often think it'll pass us by and that no one cares about our wallets.
Well, I thought so too. But I didn't take into account that crypto scams have now become an entire industry, where even wallets with just a couple hundred bucks on their balances are being targeted.
When I got home from work, I started reviewing all my recent activity. I discovered that two months ago I downloaded a file sent to me by a supposed "Solana game" developer. His handle is @skybeloweth, and he's the scammer who stole my funds. As I later learned, this scammer tried to trick even high-profile accounts, and you can find a post about him on the @RFDZI page: 👉 x.com/rfdzi/status/2…)
Here's how his scheme works:
He asks you to become a participant/early adopter/moderator/something else in his supposedly new game/NFT marketplace.
You download an app to install the "game" on your PC. Then he asked me to disable my antivirus so I could install the game. I didn't disable my antivirus, but without it, the game wouldn't download. I decided it was a scam and immediately deleted the app, then immediately ran a malware scan on my computer. My antivirus scanned my entire computer and found nothing suspicious.
But it turns out that when I downloaded this app, I infected my computer with the infostealer virus.
Infostealer is the main culprit.
90% of "games," cracks, mods, and cheats are now infected with exactly these things: RedLine, LummaStealer, Vidar, Stealka, Fickle, and a bunch of their clones.
