Millions of OpenSea User Emails Become Public
Over seven million email addresses compromised in an OpenSea email vendor leak in 2022 have recently been made publicly available online, according to a warning from SlowMist.
This data breach provides scammers with a significant new source of information for potential attacks.
“Remember the attack on the OpenSea mail service provider in [2022] that led to the leakage of emails? The leaked email addresses have now been fully publicized after multiple disseminations,” wrote SlowMist’s Chief Information Security Officer, “23pds,” in a January 13th post on X.
While the initial attack occurred in June 2022, the data had not been publicly available until recently. This recent public dissemination means “all groups of attackers can use this information to go phishing and scamming.”
