On the morning of February 21, the OpenSea marketplace reported new details of the theft of users' NFTs worth millions of dollars in the Ethereum cryptocurrency. The company clarified that 17 users were affected, and not 32, as previously reported. The difference in numbers is due to the fact that initially all the addresses that interacted with scammers during the days of the theft were counted.

OpenSea was told that there was no activity on the malicious contract for more than 15 hours. On their Twitter, they also announced that the investigation is not over and ask users to share useful information they have about the incident.
It was reported that the damage from the hack could reach $ 200 million, but the co-founder of the company Devin Finzer denied this information. He said that the address of the attacker has $1.7 million in Ethereum, which were received from part of the stolen NFTs. Open / Comment
