Kevin personally reported the hack on Twitter and asked his followers to avoid buying any Autoglyph and Chromie Squiggles.
PROOF Vice President of Engineering Arran Schlosberg detailed the fraudulent scheme. According to him, "the technical aspect of the hack was limited to crafting signatures accepted by OpenSea's marketplace contract." They immediately used theft prevention tool Revoke Cash, but it was too late.
PROOF stressed that users' assets were not affected, since the vast majority of assets require multiple approvals for access.
