The rare NFTs that hackers bought led the company to millions of losses, and the company still decided to somehow return the lost amounts to investors. 

• The scam is known to have been continued for weeks, and hackers kept on buying rare NFTs at very low prices as compared to the market ones. Many investors played a wrong part in this by allowing hackers to buy shares at low prices. 
• It is known that NFT's worth approximately to about a million were bought by the hackers, and the bug on the open sea tool was behind this tragedy or scam.
• The loophole has now been closed, and no hacker can get into the server and misuse it. Even the old listing has been renewed, and no investor can buy NFTs according to them, leaving some cases.
• The loss and the buying could not be taken back or returned, and everything had to be managed again. Even the managing committee was replaced to make sure that none of these loopholes occurred again.
