CYBERSECURITY ALERT: DEFI GIANTS CELER AND COMPOUND UNDER ATTACK
Compound Finance and Celer Network websites compromised, potential DNS domain attack
Blockchain security experts suspect vulnerabilities in Squarespace linked to breaches
Importance of security in DeFi highlighted by latest incidents
Hackers targeted the websites of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms Celer and Compound Finance, prompting concerns within the DeFi community about potential risks to other major platforms. Compound Labs and Celer Network issued warnings after their websites were compromised, cautioning users not to access their sites. Security experts suspect vulnerabilities in Squarespace, the website registrar, may be linked to the breaches, urging caution for around 65 other DeFi platform domains connected to Squarespace. The incidents highlight the importance of security in DeFi, and affected platforms are expected to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Compound Labs, the team behind Compound Finance, recently announced that its website has been compromised. The team urged users not to visit the website or click any links until further notice and promised to provide updates when available. Around three hours after Compound Labs’ announcement, Celer Network issued a similar warning. It cautioned its users not to access its official website and bridge website. The team stated that they are currently “investigating a potential DNS domain attack that seems to be hitting multiple projects at the same time.” Despite this warning, Celer Network assures that the systems and funds are safe.
Blockchain security experts, including 0xngmi, the founder of DefiLlama, and Samczsun, a researcher at Paradigm, have weighed in on the situation. They suspect vulnerabilities in Squarespace, the website registrar, may be linked to the breaches. 0xngmi pointed out that around 65 other DeFi platform domains connected to Squarespace might be at risk. Big names like Pendle and dYdX are also on the list. 0xngmi urged the community to avoid these websites on the list for now. “Consider transferring your domain to one of these instead: Cloudflare, AWS Cloud, Route 53, MarkMonitor, or CSCDBS,” Samczsun added.
These latest incidents showcase the importance of security in DeFi. Affected platforms are expected to provide detailed updates as more information becomes available.
