In the twilight of a Friday evening, as the digital world prepared to embrace the tranquility of the weekend, a tempestuous event unfolded within the realm of Web3. 🌪️
What hath transpired, one might inquire? 🧐
- Aerodrome Finance, that bastion of decentralized exchange upon Coinbase’s Base network, found itself ensnared in the clutches of a front-end attack. The perpetrators, with cunning and guile, employed DNS hijacking to lead the unsuspecting to the treacherous shores of phishing sites. 🕸️
- Though the sanctity of the smart contracts remained unbreached, the wise are counselled to shun the tainted domains, seeking refuge instead in the decentralized ENS mirrors, where safety, like a faithful hound, awaits. 🐕
- The saga is still unfolding, its chapters yet unwritten. Whether losses have been incurred remains a mystery, shrouded in the mists of uncertainty. Yet, the guardians of Aerodrome beseech their users to retract recent token approvals and to view with suspicion any transaction from unverified domains. 🛡️
Aerodrome Finance, a luminary in the decentralized exchange firmament with a treasure trove of $400 million in total value locked, was beset by this digital marauder late on the eve of the weekend. The attack, a cunning ruse of DNS hijacking, diverted the unwary to counterfeit domains, where the shadows of malice loomed large. 🦹♂️
The team, ever vigilant, has summoned My.box, the domain provider, to join in the quest to unravel this enigma. The smart contracts, those immutable sentinels of the blockchain, stand unyielding, their integrity unmarred. As the quill of this narrative scratches across the parchment, the extent of the losses, if any, remains a question mark, a silent specter haunting the digital ether. 📜
The chronicles of Aerodrome’s Twitter feed are alive with warnings, a beacon in the digital night, guiding users away from the perilous domains of aerodrome.finance and aerodrome.box. Instead, they are directed to the safe haven of decentralized ENS mirrors, such as aero.drome.eth.limo. To fortify their defenses, users are advised to revoke recent token approvals with the aid of Revoke.cash and to approach unverified transactions with the caution of a fox in the henhouse. 🦊
A Tale of Recurring Woes
This is not the first time Aerodrome has faced the tempest of front-end attacks. In the waning days of 2023, two such assaults resulted in the lamentable loss of approximately $300,000 from the coffers of its users. A somber reminder of the perils that lurk in the digital wilderness. 💔
The latest chapter in this saga unfolds mere days after Aerodrome announced its union with Velodrome, a merger that promised to consolidate liquidity across Base and Optimism under the banner of the new “Aero” ecosystem. Yet, amidst the turmoil, the AERO token stands resilient, its price hovering at $0.67, a modest ascent of 2% in the last 24 hours. 📈
The investigation continues, its outcome as yet unwritten, a narrative still in the making. 🕵️♂️
