Nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden had to assure users their NFTs “are safe” after a spate of pornographic images littered its platform on Jan. 3.
Во твитот од 3 јануари, the Solana-based NFT marketplace told its users it “has not been hacked” and the “unsavory images” were the result of its third-party image hosting provider being “compromised.”
According to Jan. 3 tweets from Magic Eden users, loading a collection’s page would sometimes temporarily flash a pornographic image in place of the NFT thumbnail.

Others reported seeing a still from the comedy television series The Big Bang Theory instead.
“Anyone else seeing the characters from the series Big Bang Theory very quickly while loading their items on Magic Eden? WTH did I just witness” @Yaboibeclownin tweeted.

Magic Eden advised users that doing a “hard refresh” of one’s browser would fix the issue.
A hard refresh typically involves clearing the browser’s cache and forcing it to reload the most recent version of the page.
Здраво момци, нашиот провајдер на слики, услуга од трета страна што ја користиме за кеширање слики, беше компромитиран. Вашите NFT се безбедни и Magic Eden не е хакиран. За жал, можеби сте виделе некои несолесни слики. Погрижете се да направите тешко освежување на вашиот прелистувач за да го поправите.

At the time of writing, the issue appears to have been rectified as the reported images have not appeared on the platform upon testing.
