Open Sea, the largest NFT marketplace, has had a massive data breach
OpenSea has had security problems so if you are a user of this platform it is very sure that your email was stolen by third parties, so the company warned that you could be sending messages for possible scams in your inbox or spam for the next few months. The leak is due to an employee of Customer.io, OpenSea’s email delivery partner, who downloaded and shared with a third party the emails of users of the platform. “He improperly used his employee access to download and share email addresses provided by OpenSea users and subscribers to our newsletter with an unauthorized external party,” the firm noted in its blog.
Although the leak is not so serious since the users’ keys were not compromised, the users’ privacy was. In the past, users of this platform have already been victims of fraudsters receiving fraudulent links to their emails. We have in fact a blog talking about this news, we leave you the link here. Extortionists will use domains such as: OpenSea.io, OpenSea.org and OpenSea.xyz. So it is important that before clicking on a link in any Open Sea email we check the domains and keep an eye on social networks to see if more users report the same email. This is not the first time that Open Sea has been attacked, but they are always looking for ways to rebuild trust with their users, so it is to be expected that we will see an upcoming security update.
