In a tweet Monday, Matthew Hickey of Hacker House introduced the “zero-day collection,” an “exclusive HackerFantastic authored [zero-day] exploit as part of our NFT proof-of-concept sale series.”
The first digital asset for sale in the collection is for Quake3, and Hickey termed it “highly collectable hacker artwork.”
While it may seem harmless, the idea of selling a cyber exploit raises questions about ethics and identity when in the wrong hands.
The NFT
NFTs are digital assets that represent a wide range of unique tangible and intangible items, from sports cards to virtual real estate. Unlike bitcoin (BTC, +0.09%) and other cryptocurrencies, whose units are meant to be interchangeable, each NFT contains distinguishing information that makes it distinct from any other NFT.
