Following a hack of a hosting provider, Magic Eden NFTs show offensive content
On Wednesday morning, Magic Eden announced that its third-party image supplier had been infiltrated, but it also reaffirmed that the marketplace had not been hacked and that the NFTs of customers were secure.
The NFT market claimed that its third-party image hosting provider was to blame for the problem and reassured consumers that their NFTs were secure.
A representative of Magic Eden informed the cryptocurrency news site Decrypt that the company was aware of the problem and had addressed it within an hour. If customers continued to see the incorrect graphics, it encouraged them to restart their browsers. Due to security reasons, Magic Eden did not reveal the identity of the outside picture source. After a wave of pornographic photos flooded its site on January 3, the nonfungible token (NFT) exchange Magic Eden had to reassure users that their NFTs "are secure." The Solana-based NFT marketplace informed its consumers through a tweet on January 3 that it "has not been hacked" and that the "unsavory images" were the product of "compromise" at a third-party image hosting provider.
Instead of the NFT thumbnail, momentarily show a pornographic image
Magic Eden users reported on January 3 that loading onto a collection's page occasionally resulted in a brief flash of a pornographic image in place of the NFT thumbnail. Others said they instead saw an image from the comedy television program The Big Bang Theory.
Users were encouraged by Magic Eden to "hard refresh" their browsers in order to resolve the problem. Clearing the browser's cache and making it reload the most current copy of the page are two usual steps in a hard refresh. The reported photos have not been displayed on the platform during testing, therefore the problem has been fixed as of this writing. Magic Eden, which has 30-day volumes of $74.65 million, is the third-biggest NFT marketplace overall and the largest Solana-based NFT marketplace, after OpenSea and Blur.
