A vulnerability in Squarespace domains has put the decentralized finance (DeFi) space at risk of phishing attacks.
CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong explained that after Google sold its domain business to Squarespace, two-factor authentication was removed due to the forced migration of domains.
This made the domains vulnerable. According to Ong, the community should wait until the issue is fixed before interacting with crypto again. “Best thing to do is to not interact with crypto and rest for the next couple of days until everything is resolved,” Ongthose affected by the recent domain hijacking on Squarespace might need to consider transferring to other providers. The white hat hacker recommended Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services Route 53, MarkMonitor and CSC DBS.
