On July 1, 2022, Quixotic NFT marketplace on Optimism was exploited due to a missing signature check in the fillSellOrder() function. The attacker minted NFTs, listed them for sale, and used the vulnerability to swap any victim's wallet tokens for the attacker's NFTs.

The team paused all activity and reimbursed affected users.
