OpenSea: Unaffected by the Magic Eden security incident, has marked related NFTs and restricted trading

TechFlow reports, on September 26, OpenSea Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Chris Maddern posted on X addressing the impact of the Magic Eden and Limit Break security incident, emphasizing that OpenSea’s systems and smart contracts remain unaffected. Known impacted ERC-721 NFTs have already been flagged on OpenSea and cannot be listed for sale; for any newly discovered compromised NFTs, OpenSea will also automatically flag them to restrict attackers from obtaining related bids.

Chris Maddern added that for users who still retain associated authorizations, OpenSea will display an alert banner on its interface and provide links to guide users to revoke their permissions. To date, over 3,000 NFTs have been marked as stolen and banned from trading. OpenSea stated it will continue to assist in mitigating the impact of this industry security incident on users.
