A sudden situation at the top DEX on the Base chain - the front-end access point of Aerodrome has been hacked.
Currently, their main domains have been compromised, and the official announcement states: "Do not click on them! These websites are now unsafe."
However, there is good news: the underlying contract is fine, and user assets are still safe. The team suggests that everyone temporarily switch to using decentralized mirror links for operations; although it's a bit troublesome, at least it's more secure.
This kind of front-end hijacking trick has been quite common lately, where phishing websites disguise themselves as real interfaces to deceive you into granting authorization. Everyone should double-check the website address several times before trading recently, and if possible, it's safer to interact directly with a hardware wallet.
At least it was just the frontend that got compromised and the contracts are fine. But honestly, I’ve seen a lot of these basic phishing attacks, and I just worry that newbies might actually click on them.
I have to agree with the recommendation to use a hardware wallet for interactions. If you don’t want the hassle, just use a mirror link—as long as your assets are on-chain, you’re good.
But seriously, when will these DEXs finally get their basic security in order?
Damn, is it this trap again? The contract is fine, but these hackers are getting more rampant
Aerodrome didn't escape this time either, luckily the assets are still safe
I feel like trading now is like defusing a bomb, I have to check the URL three times before I dare to click
Hardware wallet here we go, anyway, with so many phishing traps, it's better to be cautious and safe
The front-end was hacked but the contract wasn't affected, that's some good luck in bad luck
These guys really know how to set traps, I have to be more careful next time
---
The front end being hacked is really too rampant, there have been so many phishing sites in the past few months.
---
Using a hardware wallet is better than being emptied out.
---
Are all domains compromised? This time it's really severe, luckily they responded quickly.
---
I keep saying to check the URL a few more times before each transaction, now everyone has been reminded.
---
As long as the contract is fine, what's the problem with the UI being hacked? Just use a mirror link and that's it.
---
This rampant phishing really needs to be regulated, does the Base ecosystem still want to continue?
---
As long as the contract is safe, it's fine. The real worry is if users accidentally click the wrong link...
---
It's the same thing every day, I'm getting numb to it. Phishing sites are really everywhere.
---
Better switch to the mirror site ASAP. It's a hassle, but it's better than losing your assets.
---
This is why I refuse to use web versions. Hardware wallets are the way to go.
---
Another incident in the Base ecosystem. When will it ever calm down?
---
All domains compromised? That must be one ruthless hacker. Aero really needs to reflect on their security.
---
I just want to ask, why are so many people still clicking on random links?
---
As long as the contract is safe, a little inconvenience is fine. The real danger is if assets actually get transferred out.
---
Damn, I was just about to make a trade yesterday. Luckily, I didn't get trigger-happy.
---
If the contract is fine, that's good, but I'm afraid some people will still accidentally click on it...
---
Phishing sites are hard to defend against, really need to develop the habit of double-checking URLs.
---
Why is it so easy for DEX on Base to get compromised? The security is worrying.
---
The mirror link operation is troublesome, but it's much better than losing coins; we still have to be patient and wait.
---
The tactic of front-end hijacking is now overused, various projects have fallen for it, everyone should be more vigilant.
---
As long as asset security is in place, everything else is a small matter; don't panic.
---
This is why I insist on using a hardware wallet; I really don't regret it.
---
As long as the contract is fine, it's okay, just have to struggle to find mirror links, it's so annoying.
---
Really, now even clicking a link requires careful consideration, phishing sites are too ruthless.
---
Interacting with a hardware wallet is the way to go, everything else is just a gamble.
---
Why is the frontend so easy to attack? It always feels like it's only a matter of time before other major DEXs get hit.
---
Everyone, hurry up and switch to decentralized mirrors, it doesn't cost much time.
---
Frontend hijacking routines... I just want to know when this problem can be completely solved.
---
Aero has been lucky this time, as long as the contract is safe, otherwise, other projects might have been gone already.
---
I have to switch to backup links again, when will this calm down?
