A hacker has returned $336,000 to a British collector after he tricked him into buying a fake Banksy NFT advertised through the artist’s official website.
A link to an online auction for the NFT was posted on a now-deleted page of banksy.co.uk.
The auction ended early after the man offered 90% more than rival bidders.
Banksy’s team told the BBC “any Banksy NFT auctions are not affiliated with the artist in any shape or form”.
