The popular cryptocurrency platform Ethena announced a recent cyber attack and warns users to take immediate action.
Ethena Hack
The company announced a hack of its website. Such frontend hack incidents do not necessarily imply a breach of the protocol, but they do trap users on the website. Attackers typically seize the domain of the website linked to the protocol and force users attempting to connect their wallets to interact with a fraudulent protocol.
Understanding the Risks
Many users consider the website secure and overlook suspicious wallet connection permissions. However, it is known that permissions granted for malicious protocols can lead to viruses that automatically drain balances whenever funds are deposited.
Precautionary Measures
Users should immediately revoke wallet connection permissions and avoid interacting with suspicious websites. It is important to check the authenticity of websites before connecting wallets.
Ethena urges its users to be extra cautious and take necessary measures to protect their assets from cyber attacks.
