TREE NEWS reports: Hackers hijacked 12 DeFi websites and stole about $138,000, with all 12 domains registered through Name.com, registry records show, suggesting a compromise at the registrar level. The incident affected multiple DeFi projects whose sites were redirected to malicious pages. The total loss from the campaign is estimated at roughly $138,000.
Hackers Hijack 12 DeFi Websites Registered via Name.com, Steal About $138,000
The common registrar across all twelve domains is the detail that matters: this points to a single point of failure in the domain layer rather than twelve separate project breaches, which reframes registrar security as a shared risk for DeFi teams that treat their websites as trusted entry points. The roughly $138,000 total suggests losses were spread across users of multiple projects rather than concentrated in one, so the reputational damage may outlast the direct cost. Whether Name.com discloses how the hijack occurred, and whether other projects registered through the same provider were affected, is the open question.
