Earlier this week, if you Googled “OpenSea” looking for the eponymous NFT marketplace, you might have found what looks like the site right at the top of Google. It turns out that result, which was a paid Google Ad placement, was actually a phishing site seemingly designed to steal victims’ digital wallets, Motherboard has found.

OpenSea is the most popular peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling NFTs, making it a juicy target for hackers who want to hijack peoples’ cryptocurrency or NFTs to perhaps sell for a profit. “The NFT marketplace with everything for everyone,” its website reads.
