Full story: https://grafa.com/news/cryptocurrencies-ethena-warns-users-after-domain-hack-and-front-end-exploit-276226

On September 18, Ethena Labs issued a warning to users after its website suffered a front-end attack caused by a compromised domain registrar account.

Ethena Labs urged users to avoid interacting with any site or application claiming to be associated with Ethena (CRYPTO:ENA) until the issue is resolved.

The website has been deactivated to prevent further exploitation.

Ethena Labs reassured customers that the Ethena protocol itself was not impacted by the attack and confirmed that all customer funds remain secure.

Security firm Blockaid also advised users who were connected to the site during the attack to disconnect their wallets immediately and avoid signing any transactions.

MetaMask issued a related warning, alerting users to fake MetaMask sites exploiting the Ethena hack.

These fraudulent sites aim to steal users' seed phrases and passwords.

MetaMask has flagged the Ethena website as deceptive, urging users not to engage with it until further notice.

This incident adds to a growing list of crypto-related security breaches in 2024.

According to a recent report by Immunfi, the total value of losses due to crypto hacks has surpassed $1.2 billion as of August 2024, marking a 15.5% increase from the same period in 2023.

In one of the more recent attacks, decentralised finance platform Delta Prime suffered a $6 million hack linked to a private key exploit.

Onchain investigator ZackXBT has speculated that the Delta Prime hack may be connected to North Korean cybercriminals.

At press time, the Ethena (ENA) price was $0.2512.
