The decentralized exchange Aerodrome on the Base chain has recently encountered some issues. The official team just released an emergency notice, suspecting a DNS hijacking attack.

What does this mean? Basically, someone may have tampered with things and redirected their website’s domain. The official advice is clear: don’t visit the main site for now, and wait until they finish investigating.

The team is currently working hard to investigate, and the specific scope of the impact is still being determined. Although this type of DNS-level attack isn’t particularly common, if it happens, users can easily be redirected to phishing sites. So if you were planning to trade on Aerodrome recently, it’s recommended to wait and get the latest safe access methods from their official social media accounts.

Although decentralized exchanges keep funds relatively safe on-chain, you still need to be careful with the front-end access points.
