Security firm Blockaid flagged 12 crypto project websites as linked to frontend attacks, and Flap and Kintsu confirmed DNS hijacks affecting their sites. The confirmations prompted user warnings, with the attacks putting people who visit those sites at immediate risk.

Users were urged to avoid connecting wallets or signing transactions through the websites. The precautions also included revoking wallet approvals and moving funds immediately. Flap and Kintsu's warnings specifically cautioned against wallet connections and transaction signatures. These measures were urged while an investigation remained underway, and the warnings focused on limiting activity through the affected frontends.

Flap and Kintsu operate in decentralized finance and provide users with financial services and tools. Their websites are the frontends users use to access those services, placing website activity at the center of the warning. Blockaid's broader alert identified 12 project websites connected to frontend attacks, extending beyond the two projects that confirmed DNS hijacks. The investigation into the attacks was ongoing.
