Blockchain security Experts including 0xngmi, the founder of DefiLlama, and Samczsun, a researcher at Paradigm, have given their opinions on the situation. They suspect vulnerabilities in Squarespace, the website registrar, can be linked to violations.
0xngmi pointed out that about 65 other DeFi platform domains connected to Squarespace could be at risk. Big names like Pendle and dYdX are also on the list list. 0xngmi urged the community to avoid these websites on the list for now.
“Consider transferring your domain to one of these sites instead: Cloudflare, AWS Cloud, Route 53, MarkMonitor, or CSCDBS,” Samczsun added.
