Curve Finance Dodges DNS Phishing Attack, Protecting User Funds

Cryptocurrency platform Curve Finance successfully thwarted a DNS-based phishing attack targeting its domain, avoiding any impact on user funds or core protocol operations. The security breach was discovered and addressed swiftly by the Curve Finance team, who issued alerts and redirected traffic to the official website. Key wallet providers, such as Phantom, acted proactively by blocking suspicious sites and displaying warnings to safeguard users. This incident echoes a similar attack in 2022, where hackers stole cryptocurrencies via rapid code execution. However, swift communication and proactive measures minimized potential losses this time. Curve Finance reassured users that their assets remained secure, emphasizing that the attack only impacted DNS, not user data or the protocol itself.
