You have until 2PM ET on Friday, February 25 to migrate your listings. After that time, any listings you haven’t migrated will expire. All existing offers will also expire after that time. If you don’t migrate your listings by February 25, you will still be able to re-list your expired listings after that period without incurring any additional fees (including gas fees). For more on why we’re upgrading to a contract and how to get help migrating your listings, visit our help center. Thank you, The OpenSea Team Get Started OpenSea | Community Update

A fake breaking-news tweet claims that over $200 million worth of NFTs were stolen from OpenSea through an email phishing hack. The attached OpenSea-style email asks users to migrate their listings through a “Get Started” button, making the joke that the supposed news is actually a phishing email itself. It is used as a reaction to obvious scams, suspicious links, or crypto-related fraud.
