BTCCSquare news:

CoW Swap users are being warned to avoid the platform after a front-end security breach was detected. The incident, flagged by Blockaid, involves a DNS hijacking attack that redirects users to a malicious interface—potentially exposing them to fraudulent transactions.

The CoW DAO team confirmed the compromise at 14:54 UTC but emphasized that backend systems remain intact. Core protocol infrastructure was not breached, though APIs were temporarily paused as a precaution. Investigations are ongoing.

Front-end attacks like this exploit user trust in familiar interfaces. The risk lies not in protocol vulnerabilities but in manipulated web interactions. Until an all-clear is issued, traders should steer clear of the platform entirely.
