The Ethena website suffered what appears to be a front-end exploit on Sept. 18, and Ethena Labs has cautioned users not to interact with any site or application claiming to be Ethena.
According to a social media post from Ethena Labs, the website’s domain registrar account was compromised, and the site is currently deactivated until the issue is resolved.
Ethena Labs also reassured clients that the Ethena protocol was not affected by the exploit and that all customer funds were safe.
