TREE NEWS update: Name.com said 15 customer domains were hijacked in the attack, up from the 12 previously confirmed, and all have now been restored. Vercel said 10 of the affected domains were linked to its platform. Hackers had compromised more than a dozen DeFi websites, including Flap, Kintsu, Pickle Finance and Origami Finance, draining visitors’ crypto wallets. About $138,000 in stolen funds has been traced to three wallets on EVM chains, excluding losses on Solana or Aptos.
Name.com says 15 customer domains hijacked, all now restored; 10 linked to Vercel
The registrar layer, not the DeFi protocols themselves, is emerging as the critical weak point here — attackers appear to have gone after domains rather than smart contracts, which shifts the risk model for projects that assume code audits cover them. The Vercel linkage widens the blast radius beyond any single chain, and the traced funds cover only EVM activity, leaving Solana and Aptos losses unquantified. Whether registrar-level controls tighten, and whether the untallied non-EVM losses surface, are the open questions.
