Owning aBored Ape Yacht Club NFTputs a target on your back for scammers and hackers, especially if you're high profile. Steven Galanis, the co-founder and CEO of the Cameo app, was victim to a crypto hack on Saturday, according to Gelanis, resulting in the loss of several NFTs, including a Bored Ape, and over $70,000-worth of cryptocurrency.

All up, over $200,000-worth of crypto assets were taken. Gelanis' Bored Ape, which records show hebought for $319,000 in January, was stolen andimmediately sold for $130,000. In addition to several other NFTs, including a fewOtherdeed land NFTs for Yuga Labs' upcoming Bored Ape Yacht Club metaverse game.

Cameo is an app that allows you to buy personalized video messages from thousands of celebrities, such as Caitlyn Jenner, Lindsay Lohan and Ice T. Cameo was a hit during the first year of COVID,generating over $100 million in 2020, though itcut 25% of its workforce back in May.

Gelanis said on Twitter that his crypto wallet was hacked through his Apple iCloud account. He offered no more details, but itwouldn't be the first time. In April, it was discovered that using the MetaMask wallet on an iPhone automatically leads to your seed phrase, the 12-word password required to log into a crypto wallet, to be backed up on the attached iCloud account. Accessing someone's iCloud can mean accessing their seed phrase, which gives complete control of the related crypto wallet account. In April, a man lost $650,000-worth of crypto and NFTs due to having his iCloud compromised.

"Already $650,000 stolen from a single individual and it's going to happen to a lot more people,"a blockchain investigator wrote at the time.

Interesting NFTs
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier Arrés’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, Arrés, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, Arrés uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, Arrés elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. Arrés presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, Arrés freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier Arrés: https://javierarres.com/about.html

The #PendingGerbil drew his breath nervously. Fail Dropped Dropped and Replaced There were nothing in this world he feared more. He looked at the chords that crossed the abyss in front of him. They were loaded with pending gerbils, clinging for their life. No open space to be seen. The world machine creaked under the load. As the wheel turned and settled on a new block with a load bang, the chords vibrated, and short shrieks were heard as tired paws lost their grip and the gerbils fell into oblivion. #PendingGerbil closed his eyes, sent a short prayer to @VitalikButerin, and took the leap.
