Flap Moves to Shut Affected Frontends After Domain Hijacking

Flap is shutting affected frontends after identifying a domain hijacking, while its founder warned the issue may extend to other protocols.

Flap founder @eth_cedric said the team is working with Blockaid and other partners to close the affected frontends and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. The team is seeking help from Vercel and Name.com and plans to keep users updated.

Flap’s official account previously warned that its website had begun redirecting visitors to an unauthorized site and told users to avoid the site, wallet connections and transaction signing. @eth_cedric said the stated risk concerned users who connected a wallet or signed approvals on the abnormal site shortly before the warning. The founder said users who connected normally before the incident were unaffected.

The founder described possible effects on other protocols as a possibility and said the team would continue providing updates.
