Data breach of NFT marketplace OpenSea may expose customers to phishing attacks.
The breach was caused by an employee at Customer.io, the email delivery vendor for OpenSea.
With a recent valuation of $13.3 billion, OpenSea is the largest marketplace for trading NFTs, or non-fungible tokens.
"There is a lucrative market for stolen information and credentials. In this case, 2 million email addresses of customers of the world's biggest marketplace for NFTs will be highly attractive to bad actors looking to launch broad phishing attacks."
Watch out for phishing emails from addresses trying to impersonate OpenSea.
