Nonfungible token (NFT) market Magic Eden needed to guarantee customers their NFTs “are secure” after a spate of pornographic pictures littered its platform on Jan. 3.

In a Jan. 3 Twitter publish the Solana-based NFT marketplace advised its customers it “has not been hacked” and the “unsavory pictures” had been the results of its third-party picture internet hosting supplier being “compromised.”

Based on Jan. 3 experiences on Twitter from Magic Eden customers, loading into a set’s web page would typically briefly flash a pornographic picture rather than the NFT thumbnail.

Others reported seeing a nonetheless from the comedy tv collection The Large Bang Principle as an alternative.

“Anybody else seeing the characters from the collection Large Bang Principle in a short time whereas loading their objects on Magic Eden? WTH did I simply witness” @Yaboibeclownin tweeted.

Magic Eden suggested customers that doing a “arduous refresh” of 1’s browser will repair the difficulty.

A tough refresh sometimes includes clearing the browser’s cache and forcing it to reload the latest model of the web page.

On the time of writing, the difficulty seems to have been rectified because the reported pictures haven’t appeared on the platform upon testing.
