7M OPENSEA EMAILS FROM 2022 BREACH NOW FULLY PUBLICIZED ONLINE: REPORT

- The breach that exposed over 7 million email addresses from OpenSea in 2022 has now led to full public exposure, reported by SlowMist’s Chief Information Security Officer, 23pds, on X.

Key Details:

- Over 7 million email addresses from OpenSea users, including notable crypto figures, were leaked due to a data breach in June 2022.

- An employee of Customer(.)io, the email automation service used by OpenSea, reportedly exploited access to user data and shared it with an external party.

- While the breach occurred in 2022, the data remained undisclosed until recently, heightening the risks for phishing attempts now that the information is fully public.

Impact on the Crypto Community:

- The breach affects not just everyday users but also prominent players in the crypto space, including key opinion leaders (KOLs), companies, and other influential figures.

- The leaked data will likely be used to impersonate OpenSea, tricking users into sharing sensitive information or transferring assets.

- Earlier, OpenSea has urged all users who may have shared email addresses with the platform to remain alert for malicious communications.

- The company emphasized that phishing scams may involve emails that closely resemble the official “opensea(.)io” domain such as “opensae(.)io,” “opensea(.)org,” or “opensea(.)xyz.”
