OpenSea NFT platform bugs let hackers steal crypto wallets

Security researchers found that an attacker could leave OpenSea account owners with an empty cryptocurrency balance by luring them to click on malicious NFT art. The attack method is as simple as creating an NFT with a malicious payload and waiting for a victim to take the bait and view it. Check Point researchers informed OpenSea of their findings on September 26. The two parties collaborated to address the issue and OpenSea came up with a solution in less than an hour from the disclosure. The researchers say they could not identify any cases where attackers exploited this vulnerability but to educate the community on how to spot and spot phishing attempts.”]
