Kintsu Confirms DNS Hijack, Urges Users to Revoke Wallet Approvals

Kintsu confirmed a DNS hijack at its domain registrar that has redirected its official website to a malicious page, warning users to avoid wallet connections and transaction signing to protect their funds.

The warning applies while the site displays the malicious page. Kintsu told users not to visit the website or interact with it by connecting a wallet or signing any transaction. The alert identifies those wallet interactions as the activity users should avoid.

The response window begins at 8 p.m. ET Friday, Oct. 30 (00:00 UTC Oct. 31). Anyone who connected a wallet or signed a transaction from that point onward should revoke related approvals through the Revoke platform and move their assets. Kintsu's notice ties both steps to activity during that period.

Kintsu said it will notify users after confirming that the website is safe again. Until that notice arrives, its guidance is to avoid the site and not connect wallets or sign transactions there.
