⚠️OpenSea exposes user data
Market leader NFT marketplace OpenSea has placed a warning, requiring users to immediately change their API keys, following a security incident from a third party.
Exposing the key can expose users to attacks as well as affect the command processing speed of applications using OpenSea's API keys. Therefore, the platform plans to discontinue existing keys before October 2.
OpenSea has not yet announced how many users were affected by the incident or what information other than the API key was leaked. At the same time, famous crypto analysis company Nansen was also breached.
This is not the first time OpenSea has encountered security challenges. Last year, the platform suffered a large-scale leak of customer email addresses, due to employee errors while working with email partner Customer.io.
