Wallet providers like Phantom have blocked the curve[.] fi domain and displayed a warning message for users.“The incident has not affected the protocol’s infrastructure and is strictly limited to the DNS layer,” Curve’s team announced on Tuesday, adding that user funds were secure and the protocol remained operational.The platform said it has opened a full investigation and contacted its domain registrar to resolve the matter. Security partners and industry players were also engaged to help contain the issue, according to the team’s latest update seen on its X page.PhantomPhantom Warns Curve Finance Users Amid DNS ExploitIt’s not the first time Curve Finance has suffered a DNS breach. In 2022, hackers compromised the platform's DNS and hosted a new IP address to steal funds from decentralized finance users.Last week, scammers also infiltrated the protocol’s X account to promote a wallet-drainer link, but the team regained control shortly after.
