Risk to Business: 1.903 = Severe

NFT giant OpenSea has had a data breach caused by an employee at a third-party service provider misusing their access to data. OpenSea announced last week that an employee of email vendor Customer.io, misused their employee access to download and share email addresses of OpenSea’s users and newsletter subscribers with an unauthorized external party. Customer.io told TechCrunch that the culprit was likely an employee who abused their role-specific access privileges and that no other company’s data was involved in this incident.
