Increase in Phishing Scams on OpenSea
If you’re a user of OpenSea, you may have recently received phishing emails claiming to be from an official source of the platform. These emails are offering NFTs, but it’s important to be aware that they are part of a phishing scam. OpenSea has warned that user emails and developer API keys may have been leaked due to an attack on the supplier.

OpenSea released a statement denying any hack and advised users not to click on links they don’t trust. Despite this, thousands of tweets have circulated about the alleged hacking. This comes after the announcement of job cuts by OpenSea’s co-founder and CEO, Devin Finzer, as part of a strategic realignment for “OpenSea 2.0.”
