It’s an excuse to keep vigilante, since their email addresses are stolen and shared with potential scammers. The breach was caused by an employee of OpenSea’s partner, Customer.io, who “misused their access” to pass their email addresses to an anonymous external party.

Even though OpenSea hasn’t clarified how many accounts have been breached, it’s said that all past and present users should assume that they were impacted. The matter has been passed to the police, but the investigation will be done to begin.

“As you know, an employee of Customer.io, our email delivery vendor, misused employee’s access to download and share email addresses with an unauthorized outside party”, says a statement from OpenSea. “Just keep you on the e-mail and alert your peers for any attempt to impersonate OpenSea via email.”
This isn’t the first breach to be hit on OpenSea this year. According to the latest report released in February, 1,7 million dollars of NFTs were stolen from Opensea users due to an apparent vulnerability in the site. OpenSea denies that was the case, but contacted users who blamed its apparent lack of security measures.
The site also hosted various stolen items. This includes art, YouTube channels, and photohopped photos of celebrities. Not surprising is that a user who turned celebrities into porn was used for a promotion. That was then sold as NFTs on the site. This raised questions about OpenSea’s ability to vet the material hosted by its server.
It hasn’t been realized the full extent of the most recent controversy yet. However, many users are frustrated with OpenSea, calling for better security and more transparency on the subject.
