The platform warns of the threat and recommends temporarily stopping interaction with the site.
Following a recent cyberattack targeting Ambient Finance – a decentralized exchange (DEX), the platform assured users that their assets and smart contracts remain safe. However, Ambient Finance issued a warning urging to refrain from interacting with the site's interface until further notice.
In a tweet posted on October 19, the company confirmed that despite the preservation of the main infrastructure, the DNS attack compromised the interface of their site.
On October 17, hackers gained unauthorized access to the Ambient Finance domain and injected malicious links, redirecting users to pages created to steal digital assets. The platform reacted quickly and suspended the use of the site, urging users not to connect wallets and not to take any action until the threat is eliminated.
Ambient Finance stressed that user safety is a top priority and recommended that permissions to interact with the platform be temporarily revoked while a full investigation into the incident is underway. In a statement, the team noted that it is already working with security experts and the domain registrar to normalize the situation in the near future.
An analysis by Blockaid revealed that a piece of malware called Inferno Drainer, specifically designed to steal digital assets, was behind the attack. The server from which the hack was launched was created only 24 hours before the incident, which indicates the high speed of attack preparation.
Ambient Finance was founded in 2021 and operates a decentralized exchange (DEX). Last year, the platform raised $6 million in a seed funding round backed by major investors including Blocktower and Circle Ventures.
