What else does the blog say? OpenSea noted that attackers may try to contact users via email addresses similar to the official domain, opensea.io, and advised not to respond to such emails, as well as not to download any files attached to them. On Twitter, the marketplace’s customers report an increase in spam and suspicious phone calls.

In March, unknown persons gained access to the personal data of customers of BlockFi, a lending platform. The incident occurred through one of its third-party providers, Hubspot.
