Unidentified hackers posted a link to a phishing site on the channel of the largest trading platform for non-fungible tokens, OpenSea.
OpenSea was the victim of a server hack in Discord, reported platform support on Twitter. According to the message, users subscribed to the platform’s Discord channel received a message from the bot that OpenSea is now officially partnering with YouTube to attract video hosting audiences to the NFT space.
Analytical company PeckShield confirmedthat the OpenSea server was attacked by those who advertise fraudulent NFTs. Users posted several screenshots showing that the hackers wanted to force users to click on the link and buy their tokens under the guise of a YouTube partnership announcement. In fact, the link entered a phishing site. OpenSea support urged users not to click on any links on the server and said the team is looking into the situation.
Recall that at the beginning of the year, the site announced that it was investigating reports of a hack, according to which more than 30 users lost their NFT and Ether (ETH). According to the site, it was a phishing attack from outside OpenSea. The company’s CEO Devin Finzer said the team was unaware of any recent phishing emails or links.
Earlier, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) project team stated that its Discord account was also hacked. During the phishing attack, the attackers managed to steal at least four collectibles, including one rare item worth over $70,000.
