opensea.lat is a fraudulent website that impersonates OpenSea, the well-known NFT marketplace, to deceive crypto users and NFT collectors. The site presents itself under the page title "OpenSea," mimicking the legitimate brand to appear credible. PhishDestroy first identified it on 2026-10-04, just three days after the domain was registered, and as of 2026-10-19 the site remains fully live and serving active content.
How the scam works
Sites like this typically lure victims with fake NFT mints, exclusive drops, or discounted listings that appear to originate from the real OpenSea platform. When a visitor attempts to participate, they are prompted to connect their crypto wallet and sign or approve one or more transactions. Those approvals hand control of the victim's NFT assets or tokens directly to the attacker, who drains the wallet before the victim realizes anything is wrong. Because the interface closely copies OpenSea's design and branding, users may not question the legitimacy of what they are signing.
Evidence
Six of 91 engines on VirusTotal flagged opensea.lat as malicious as of 2026-10-06, with detections from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, and URLQuery. While the detection count is moderate rather than overwhelming, the vendors flagging it include specialists in blockchain and phishing threat intelligence, which carries significant weight. The domain also appears on both the PhishDestroy and SEAL blocklists, and four independent OTX threat-intelligence pulses reference it, collectively providing strong corroboration of the classification.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-01 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, giving it only days of existence before it began targeting users. It is hosted on Cloudflare's network at IP 188.114.97.3, with infrastructure based in the United States. TLS is provided by Let's Encrypt, which issues certificates automatically and at no cost, requiring no identity verification from the site operator.
What to do
If you visited opensea.lat and connected your wallet, immediately revoke all token and NFT approvals granted to any contract associated with the site using a tool such as Revoke.cash or your wallet's built-in approval manager. Transfer any remaining assets to a fresh wallet address as a precaution. Do not return to the site or share the link. Security teams and platform operators should add opensea.lat to blocklists and firewall rules, and report it to Cloudflare's abuse team and Registrar.eu to accelerate takedown.

認定と RAA の背景
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Hostnames retained in the domain record or Certificate Transparency cache. A hostname alone does not establish current availability or malicious activity.
