Domain Name of Convex Finance Back to Normal After Recent DNS Attack

Convex Finance to Continue Track Affected Users

On Friday, Convex Finance confirmed that attackers took control of the DNS server of the Convex Finance DeFi protocol to prompt users to approve malicious smart contracts.

The platform then announced setting up two alternative domain names and asked users to use these URLs to interact with the site while they conduct the investigation.

In a recent update, the team behind the platform has now shared that its original domain name convexfinance.com domain is back to normal with the DNS being "secured and actively monitored."

The company also noted that it will continue its investigation of potentially affected users. It also shared the addresses of those suspected of having approved the malicious contracts.
