Mixin token XIN reacted to the hacking news with a sharp decline early on Monday. The alt lost around 10% to trade at $195.

XIN’s bearishness matches the broad market outlook. Bitcoin has painted its price charts red. The bellwether crypto lost 2.36% and 1.93% over the past week and 24 hours, respectively. Also, it dropped 0.32% on its 1-hour chart.

Fraudsters continue to create havoc in the crypto sector. NFT platform OpenSea has cautioned its users about a security breach on one of its vendors. The marketplace explained that the incident may not have immediate effects on users. Nonetheless, it potentially exposes customers’ API keys.

Application programming interface keys are codes for identifying a user or application in computer app authentication. OpenSea’s API allows developers to capitalize on the network’s data and create experiences using non-fungible tokens.

OpenSea advised users to denounce and immediately replace their current keys with newly made options with similar rate limits and permissions. The NFT company confirmed that the existing API keys will expire on 2 October.
