Compound Finance and Celer Network websites compromised in ‘front-end’ attacks
The websites of crypto lending platform Compound Finance and Celer Network have been attacked, redirecting users to a malicious phishing site, according to multiple security researchers. Compound, one of the longest-established decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, holds assets worth over $2B, according to data from DeFiLlama. Celer’s cBridge allows users to send tokens between 14 blockchains, processing over $200M in volume last month. Security advisor to the Compound DAO, Michael Lewellen, posted a community alert via X (formerly Twitter), urging users to avoid the platform’s website . Compound Finance confirmed the attack 90 minutes later. The breach was highlighted earlier by ZachXBT via Telegram.

The Compound protocol itself is not impacted and all smart contract funds are safe. — Mich...
