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.”
