The worlds largest NFT (non-fungible token) marketplace, OpenSea, has been hit by a phishing attack.
NFTs worth millions of dollars were being stolen from the OpenSea users accounts.
The Co-Founder and CEO of OpenSea, Devin Finzer, noticed the attack and confirmed the loss of NFTs.
However, the NFT marketplace is yet to figure out the cause of the attack.
The investigator Peckshield claimed the attackers might have got the users information, including email ids.
The Co-Founder, Devin acknowledged the attack via tweet.
At that time, a total of 32 users were the victims of a phishing attack.
However, the latest update by the company says 17 users are affected.
Importantly, rumors that this was a $200 million hack are false.
The attacker has $1.7 million of ETH in his wallet from selling some of the stolen NFTs.
The original count included the ones who had interacted with the attacker.
And the recent count represents the actual victims of the phishing attack.
OpenSea shared that the attack is not active now.
According to the investigation reports, there is no activity on the malicious contract for around 15 hours.
