The Sandbox Suffers Security Breach: Users Targetted via Phishing Email

No further impacts have been identified so far.

Blockchain-based metaverse company – The Sandbox – has warned its users about a security breach through a malware application.

According to the official blog post, an unauthorized third party managed to gain access to the computer of one of its employees and used the information it found to send an email falsely claiming to be from The Sandbox. Its statement read:

“We have blocked the employee’s accounts and access to The Sandbox, reformatted the employee’s laptop, and reset all related passwords including requiring two-factor authentication. We have not identified any further impacts.”
