OpenSea Discord server hacked: Scam NFTs were promoted
NFT-related hacks are becoming a common occurrence, and the Wild West definitely needs some order. The world's largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, saw its Discord server get hacked. The hackers gained access to the server to promote fake NFT collections in order to phish users into losing their valuable non-fungible tokes.
OpenSea Discord users in trouble
OpenSea Discord got hacked, and the NFT marketplace confirmed this development in a Twitter post on May 6, 2022, 2:13 PM UTC. "We are currently investigating a potential vulnerability in our Discord, please do not click on any links in the Discord," said the tweet from the NFT marketplace.While OpenSea continues to work out the details and investigate the harm done, they have asked all the users to be cautious. A number of people from the crypto community flagged the possibility of the hack as the founder of Sentinel, a Discord and crypto threat mitigation system powered by AI, and the community, @Serpent, was among the first to confirm the hack.
Blockchain security firm PeckShield also notified the crypto community of the Discord exploit.
As per images circulated of the hacked Discord server of OpenSea, there was a message that the NFT marketplace had partnered with YouTube "to bring their community into the NFT Space." The users were then redirected to a phishing link where they would be able to mint "YouTube Genesis Mint Pass."
Blue-chip Discord compromises
As per a previous report from Cryptonary, the Discord channel of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) was also briefly compromised, followed by the Doodles' server. Similar events had occurred wherein the scammers posted fake links to phishing websites and promoted fake airdrops of NFT collections. Such events have become very common in the world of NFTs, and it seems that platforms like OpenSea need to keep their platforms more secure.100% Success Money Back Guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
