ME News reports that on April 4 (UTC+8), the DeFi lending protocol HypurrFi issued a security alert stating that its website domain has been compromised, and the team is currently investigating a potential domain hijacking incident. The project team explicitly stated: “Do not use the hypurr.fi domain,” and urged users to avoid interacting with the platform until further notice. The team also emphasized that user funds are currently not at risk and that official social media accounts remain under their control. HypurrFi operates on HyperEVM with a total value locked of approximately $30 million. Analysts note that domain hijacking is one of the common attack methods in the crypto industry; attackers typically compromise frontend pages to inject malicious code or wallet-stealing scripts, meaning users may still face asset risks even if the underlying smart contracts remain secure.
