Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs delisted on OpenSea.
OpenSea customer emails become compromised.
And Kevin Hart dives into metaverse and NFTs.
I'm Deezy.
And this is your NFT Alpha update.
Let's get it!
Bored Ape Yacht Club holders were blindsided this week
as OpenSea briefly delisted their NFTs.
Collectors quickly took to Twitter in a swarm of grievances
calling on OpenSea to resolve the issue.
And within a matter of hours,
Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs were relisted,
but holders were left with no reasoning for the error.
In a statement released to Twitter,
Bored Ape Yacht Club assured the community.
And I quote,
"There was a brief OpenSea error earlier
in which they mistakingly and temporarily delisted a number of Bored Apes from their platform.
We've resolved the issue with all assets showing again.
We are in contact with them to ensure this doesn't happen again."
Seems like they're on it.
The news broke just a week after Yuga Labs filed a lawsuit against Ryder Ripps
accusing him of trademark infringement, false advertising and misleading the audience.
Yuga Labs claims that Ripps is harassing the project in various ways.
Another believes this incident is connected to the ongoing court case.
The community will be watching OpenSea closely
as Yuga Labs navigates this lawsuit,
leaving a recent statement to the community,
"This is no monkey business."

Trouble on the OpenSea
as the exchange has been in the spotlight during recent weeks over Discord hacks,
insider trading allegation,
and the hits just keep coming
as the NFT marketplace releases a warning to its users of an email breach
stemming from their very own Portland-based email delivery vendor Customer.io.
The recent breach comes from an internal employee downloading and then sharing the user email addresses
with an "unauthorized" external party.
OpenSea ironically released a warning through email
warning customers to stay vigilant about potential email phishing campaigns
from lookalike web addresses that are likely a result from the leak.
The popular NFT marketplace said it has begun an investigation
with Customer.io and law enforcement to quickly resolve the issue.
With early estimates showing up to 1.8 million users have been affected by this breach so far.
News of the breach came to light as the EU is negotiating final details on a sweeping regulatory package
which falls short of protecting customers' privacy and data and security in the NFT space.
So far, no reported cases of customer hacks have come to light from the breach,
but users must remain wary as we traverse the wild OpenSea.
With the recent upheaval on crypto exchanges and lawsuits beginning to shake up the NFT space,
the need for transparent NFT exchanges has grown stronger than ever.
Time will tell which platform may rise to the occasion of transparency and ease of use.
Now, comedian Kevin Hart has announced his first NFT collection
with Web3 partner platform Moonwalk
and will be releasing on July 7.
This comes along with his metaverse release of an animated comedy special
Confessions from the Hart
coming to audiences July 6,
which gives a front row seat to this comedy mogul's
personal experience in his life, career and relationships.
Fans and NFT collectors will be able to pick up one of 10,000 alter egos,
ranging from Kevin Hart's fresh out of the gym look
to a more subtle techno Pharoah version of the infamous actor.
NFTs will also grant access to exclusive bonus content and tickets to upcoming Kevin Hart events.
In a statement from HARTBEAT Media,
Jeff Clanagan says
his entry into the metaverse is another example of Hart's commitment to connecting with fans
wherever and whenever they consume content.
And that's all I got.
Deezy out.
