    CoW Swap domain hijacked via registrar social engineering; cloned site drains users through approvals

    On 14 April 2026 attackers took control of the domain for swap.cow.fi and sent visitors to a cloned CoW Swap interface that asked for malicious token approvals. CoW DAO paused its backend and APIs and told users to revoke approvals made after 14:54 UTC; the protocol's smart contracts were not affected. Early estimates were about $500K drained; Halborn later put user losses at about $1.2M and said the registrar had been social-engineered.

    Aerodrome and Velodrome front-ends hijacked via DNS, cloned sites serve Eleven Drainer

    On 21 November 2025 an attacker changed the DNS records for aerodrome.finance and velodrome.finance, sending visitors to a cloned front-end running 'Eleven Drainer' code. Users who signed on the fake site lost tokens: Blockaid tied about $700K to nine attacker addresses, and Halborn put losses above $1M. The smart contracts were not touched. Anyone who signed on either site that evening should revoke approvals they don't recognise.
