This attack is not the first time Dromos Labs has faced such an incident. In November 2023<\/strong>, both protocols had already been victims of a similar DNS hijacking<\/strong>, with losses estimated at around $100,000<\/strong> according to blockchain<\/a> investigator ZachXBT. The recurrence of this scenario raises legitimate questions about the robustness of their Base security infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DNS hijacking typically exploits a vulnerability at the domain provider level rather than within the protocol itself. Aerodrome<\/strong> even mentioned that the compromise likely originated from its domain registrar, a weak link often overlooked in the Web3 security chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The impact on TVL was immediate but measured<\/strong>. Data from DefiLlama shows that Aerodrome recorded a drop of nearly 4%<\/strong> in its total value locked<\/strong>, falling below the $400 million<\/strong> mark. Nevertheless, the protocol maintains its dominant position on Base with $399.17 million<\/strong> in TVL, while Velodrome maintains approximately $49.74 million<\/strong> on Optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
