On January 15, CityDAO, an Ethereum-based community blockchain city project, tweeted that the CityDAO Discord administrator account had been hacked. 29.67 ETH ($95,000) funds were stolen by hackers using stolen admin accounts to post fake land airdrop messages.
The attacked administrator, “Lyons800,” tweeted that the attack was a “ridiculous security breach from Discord.” The founders of CityDAO purchased 40 acres of land in the U.S. state of Wyoming last November with the aim of building a “blockchain city.”
