, explaining that he'd accidentally listed a very rare Ether Rock for WEI instead of ETH, selling a $1 million-plus NFT for $0.0012."In one click my entire net worth of ~$1 million dollars, gone," he wrote.
Which is something that could have been prevented with a new feature top NFT marketplace OpenSea has announced: the three-hour hold."To mitigate theft-related risk, sellers will be prevented from accepting offers on certain items for 3 hours after some transfers and sales," OpenSea tweeted on Feb. 6. It said:
"Why 3 hours? Speedy transfers and resales through offer acceptances can indicate suspicious activity. This timeframe helps OpenSea, our community, and theft victims detect stolen items while also lessening the chance that buyers end up with an item that's later reported stolen."NFT theft is a big and growing problem, with blockchain intelligence firm Elliptic revealing last August that more thanhad been stolen in the 12 months prior. Almost one quarter of that was in May alone.
"Although crime represents a small proportion of overall NFT trading, it has a disproportionate impact on the industry's reputation and undermines the quality of experience of legitimate users. NFT marketplaces must be proactive in risk management to mitigate these repetitional risks and issues." One of the highest-profile NFT thefts to date was of Bored Ape Yacht Club #8398 from comedian and actor Seth Green, who was planning to use it as a character in a TV show he was producing.0 people liked this article
