Velodrome: Domain names are subject to DNS attacks. Users who interact with the attacker's website may lose up to $250,000.

  • Wechat scan to share

On December 4th, Optimism decentralized trading protocol Velodrome announced that the domains velodrome.finance and aerodrome.finance were hit by a DNS attack. After preliminary investigation, it is estimated that users who interacted with the attacker's website may lose up to $250,000. After implementing remedial measures, testing, and user feedback, no evidence of any internal/external accounts associated with Velodrome/Aerodrome and/or the registrar being leaked was found. The root cause of this attack was the attacker using social engineering attacks on the domain registrar to gain ownership and control over the accounts holding the domains, thereby bypassing 2FA and other security mechanisms, allowing the attacker to change the domain server and redirect legitimate domain traffic to malicious cloned Velodrome/Aerodrome websites.

With less than two weeks remaining until the 60-day deadline set by Trump's executive order, this means that more details about the US Bitcoin reserve will soon be disclosed. Market expectations for this may be one of the important catalysts for the recent rebound in cryptocurrency. In addition, any comments questioning the independence of the Federal Reserve have also had a positive spillover effect on Bitcoin.
