Can we please dear god stop calling things being hacked when there was no hacking involved.

Kevin Rose clicked "sign" on an OpenSea Seaport signature that was not originating via Opensea.io and created listings for 0eth sales.

This is being phished, there's 0 hacking involved. He gave away his assets, it sucks, but he did not get hacked.


He later linked to this preliminary explanation: https://mobile.twitter.com/divergencearran/status/1618359162... tl;dr social engineering.


Kevin rose wasn't hacked, he was phished and clicked sign and gave away all his assets.


aww DIGG
