World's largest NFT market OpenSea hacked

World's largest NFT marketplace OpenSea is investigating a “phishing attack”, OpenSea acknowledged on Twitter.

Co-founder Devin Finzer took to twitter to share some information and allay fears.

“We don’t believe it’s connected to the OpenSea website, it appears 32 users thus far have signed a malicious payload from an attacker, and some of their NFTs were stolen," Finzer wrote on Twitter.

"The attack doesn’t appear to be active at this point — we haven’t seen any malicious activity from the attacker’s account in 2 hours. Some of the NFTs have been returned," Finzer added.

Finzer warned users about signing messages and asked them to always 'double check that you are interacting with https://opensea.io in your browser when you sign messages.'

He also dismissed rumors of a $200 million hack and asked affected users to DM @opensea_support so that they can thoroughly investigate.
