I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the title is written in such as way that it is very easy to misparse as something like "Backdoor in OpenSea allows anybody to take tokens..."

That actually is how I first read it. Not saying that doesn't make this a bad thing, but the HN title should really be reverted to the article title.

This title rewrite is really bad. One interpretation of it is basically slandering opensea. I suspect OP (the person who decided to make up a title instead of using the article title) is not a native English speaker, and there are two ways to interpret their title and intentions:

1. they meant it as a question "does backdoor in opensea allow to take anyone's tokens?".

2. they meant it as a statement "backdoor in opensea allows you to take anyone's tokens"

Obviously #2 is a lot worse. Hopefully they just forgot the question mark and weren't intentionally being malicious.

The original title is bad as well, because it is clickbaity.

Best title for submission would be: OpenSea administrators can take any tokens minted on the OpenSea Shared Storefront

Ok, done. (Submitted title was "Backdoor in OpenSea allows to take anybody's tokens".) Thanks!
