Balancer has released its latest protocol report "The Balancer Report" today, which reveals the latest developments of the protocol. It was disclosed that Balancer DAO has become the first batch of recipients of the Arbitrum Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP), and has received ARB token rewards worth $1.2 million; Balancer also revealed that Raft QiDAO joined its "8020 Plan" last week, Raft launched the RAFT/R liquidity pool, while QiDAO renamed eQI to aveQI and deployed the corresponding liquidity pool on Ethereum.

Balancer, an Ethereum-based automated market maker, has suffered a frontend compromise on its website due to a social engineering attack on its DNS service provider, EuroDNS. The attack led to the theft of an estimated $238,000 in crypto. Balancer's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) worked to recover the Balancer UI and secured the domain, but the company is exploring deprecating the .fi TLD and suggests other projects using the same top-level domain should consider moving to a more secure registrar. The attacker employed Angel Drainer phishing contracts and SlowMist and CertiK reported that the hacker may be related to Russia.

Balancer has released an update regarding the DNS attack, confirming that the domain is now secure and back under the control of Balancer DAO. The app.balancer.fi and other balancer.fi domains can now be safely used. The team stated that after investigation, it was clear that this was a social engineering attack against EuroDNS, the domain registrar for .fi top-level domains. Balancer is exploring abandoning the .fi TLD in favor of a more secure registrar and recommends that other projects using the TLD do the same.

SlowMist founder Yu Xian stated on X platform (formerly Twitter) that the Balancer attack is likely a DNS hijacking attack, related to the well-known Angel Drainer phishing group. The distribution of interests in the phishing industry is high, and various traditional advanced techniques may be used. The security threats of Web3 projects come not only from their own smart contract code, but also from various basic components in Web1/2, including people.

PeckShield monitoring shows that the attacker of Balancer has exchanged 15.4 ETH for nearly 2,730 AVAX and transferred it to MEXC.

Balancer, a decentralized finance protocol on the Ethereum network, has reported that its user interface is currently being attacked. The platform has advised users not to interact with its protocol until further notice. Balancer has stated that the details of the attack are being investigated and it is unclear whether user funds are safe. This is the second attack on Balancer in a month, with the previous one resulting in a $2 million exploit.
