Yuga Labs recovers 60 stolen NFTs following targeted exploit

Yuga Labs is currently sitting on a digital stash of 60 rescued NFTs after stepping in to halt an active drainer. The Bored Ape creator identified a vulnerability that put high-value assets at risk and moved quickly to intercept the stolen goods before they disappeared into private mixers. It's a rare moment of central intervention in a space that usually tells victims they're on their own. The haul includes several pieces from prominent collections, which Yuga now holds in a secure custody wallet while they vet the original owners. They aren't just handing them back blindly; the team is implementing a verification process to ensure the tokens don't end up back in the hands of the scammers. It's a logistical headache for the firm, but a massive relief for the collectors who watched their JPGs vanish in real-time. The big question now is whether other major studios will feel pressured to act as unofficial police when the next exploit hits.
