OpenSea Phishing Attack Pauses Grumpy Pugs™ NFT Launch

OpenSea, the world’s first and largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), announced a global phising attack on it’s marketplace. “We are actively investigating rumors of an exploit associated with OpenSea related smart contracts. This appears to be a phishing attack originating outside of OpenSea’s website.” says their official Twitter account. Cointelegraph says the attack happened during a planned upgrade.

With the official launch of the Grumpy Pugs™ exclusive NFT collection previously scheduled to begin Monday February 21, 2022, the franchise has decided to delay the launch for one more week. “Out of an abundance of caution for our fans during this OpenSea issue, we are pushing the dates out past their migration window when things will stabilize and new security measures are in place so a fair and fun Grumpy Pugs™ shopping experience can resume. We are truly confident that this be quickly resolved and and everyone will be able to safely engage with our brand on the OpenSea marketplace,” says Tim Moore, founder, Grumpy Pugs™.
