The Sandbox, a blockchain-based metaverse company, released a warning regarding a security breach.

The company explained in a blog post on Thursday that an unauthorized third party accessed an employee's computer and sent a fraudulent email to the platform's users.

The fraudulent email was titled "The Sandbox Game (PURELAND) Access," sent on Feb. 26. and contained links that could install malware on a user's computer if clicked on. This malware would give the third party control over the user's computer, allowing access to their personal information. The company has stated that the third party only had access to the single employee's computer and was unable to access any other service or account of The Sandbox.

The only data the attacker had access to was email addresses of The Sandbox users, the company said. So far, no financial loss has been reported.
