Gate News message, April 16 — CoW Swap announced it has regained control of the cow.fi domain following a social engineering attack on April 14. The protocol has been operating normally on cow.finance and is gradually transitioning back to the original domain.
Attackers used forged documentation to deceive the DNS registrar and gain control of cow.fi. They deployed a highly realistic phishing site that operated in two stages: first, using a wallet stealer to trick users into signing malicious transactions, then deploying a fake wallet pop-up to harvest seed phrases and passwords. CoW Swap clarified that the attack targeted the domain registrar, not the protocol’s infrastructure or private keys.
Affected users are advised to revoke all approvals using tools like Revoke.cash and consider transferring funds to a new wallet.
