I lost 90 NFTs in a phishing attack (see image)

Below is a breakdown of how it happened, how the attacker exploited MetaMask, what I did to recover, and what I learned so others don’t repeat my mistakes.

@JustinGilanyi every single one.

scope creep... 😅

@jakethedegen pace then lead is an effective strategy in most cases.

[Eric Rhodes @secondrealm]

@jakethedegen they’re all fake. every industry i’ve ever been in has this veneer, but behind that think veil is people just trying to figure it out for themselves. the “rules” are suggestions. and reality is what you make of it.

@neurocolor a tale as old as time 🤣

@Kingofmidtown1 symbiotic relationship that ebbs and flows. each pushing toward and against one another.

[Eric Rhodes @secondrealm]

i used to think that maybe creative life and professional life had to be two distinct pursuits. but being in the crypto/web3/ai space as an independent since 2019 has really reinforced just how much they complement each other. and had i not pursued this entrepreneurial adventure, i’m not sure i would’ve discovered that.

[Eric Rhodes @secondrealm]

@greencrosslive yeah; and that options still available too. for sure.

this still has enamel pin and sticker potential, doesn't it?

a weird, quirky side effect of making art in response to cultural moments is that feelings shift over time, and the piece can take on a whole new meaning.

i'm going through my artworks one by one to collect the metadata and potentially locate my original image files.

anyway, i burned quite a few of my early SR mints in 2020. wish i could have this one back from the burn pile.

*i know this could be done programmatically, but i like sifting through data and reconnecting with my old work through a different lens.

[Eric Rhodes @secondrealm]

@natealex low effort art, he gets it.

[Eric Rhodes @secondrealm]

@maxOSIRISart yeah; i'm digital cleansing. lol

i use two social platforms. x for thinking in public. tt for doom scrolling entertainment. everythign else is on the backburner.

@JimenaBuenaVida @24_Hours_Art much deserved, Jimena! love to see you continue to succeed and create new work.
