AB de Villiers, the South African cricket legend, has revealed in an interview with Cointelegraph that he fell victim to an NFT hack last year. De Villiers held over 300 digital collectibles before he was tricked by a malicious NFT masquerading as a new Pudgy Penguin drop, which gave a hacker access to his wallet by signing a malicious contract. He ended up losing a good chunk of his collection before sending the remainder of his NFTs to another wallet for safekeeping. Despite this experience, de Villiers expressed his interest in exploring the Web3 industry and investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and other promising Web3 projects.
