Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses non-fungible token (NFT) fraud, hacks, and controversies. We begin by analyzing a case study about data breaches at Neopets. Next, we discuss the Pixelmon controversy case study. The chapter continues with additional case studies in NFT rug pulls (Evolved Apes, Pixel Penguins, Mutant Ape Planet). The remainder of the chapter discusses several other NFT case studies: Gutter Cat Gang SIM swap attack, Arcade DAO controversy, Seth Green’s Bored Ape theft, and the OpenSea spoofing scam.
