OpenSea initiated an investigation into NFT user theft
NFT marketplace OpenSea has initiated an investigation over a "rumored exploit" related to its smart contracts. The company said it was a phishing attack - no problems were found on the platform side.
"We are actively investigating a rumored exploit related to OpenSea smart contracts. It appears to be a phishing attack coming from a third-party resource. Do not click on links outside of opensea.io," the statement said.
On February 19, reports of thefts of non-exchangeable user tokens from the platform surfaced online. There were rumors of a $200 million hack, but OpenSea co-founder Devin Finzer denied the information. According to him, the attacker has $1.7 million in ETH at his address, which he received from the sale of some of the stolen NFTs.
