February 19, 2022 was a bad day for OpenSea. It is still investigating but apparently some nefarious person engaged in a phishing attack on OpenSea users that resulted in the theft of at least 254 NFTs.
The thief reportedly has $1.7 million in ETH from sales.

As far as we can tell, this is a phishing attack. We don’t believe it’s connected to the OpenSea website. It appears 32 users thus far have signed a malicious payload from an attacker, and some of their NFTs were stolen.
