The hacker attacked the DNS server of the Convex Finance project

The attacker captured the control of the DEFI Protocol of the Convex Finance to invite users to approve harmful smart contracts. The project team clarifies possible damage.

The developers emphasized that funds from proven contracts are not affected. However, at least five addresses interacted with malice. The team called for their owners to get in touch.

At the time of writing, the investigation of the incident continues. Convex Finance promised to publish detailed information later.

The price of the CVX project token did not respond to the incident. Over the past 24 hours, the asset has risen in price by 2% (Coingecko). CVX is traded at the level of $ 4.6 – more than 92% lower than a maximum recorded in January 2022 at $ 60.

Recall that in April the Convex Finance team eliminated the vulnerability that potentially threatened $ 15 billion. Bug was identified by Openzeppelin specialists.
