Odaily Planet Daily report: Echelon has confirmed that access to its official website has been fully restored and domain resolution has returned to normal. Investigation revealed that the incident was caused by an unauthorized change to the domain name servers at the registrar level: Echelon’s domain is managed through Vercel, with Name.com as the registrar; the domain servers were incorrectly changed from Vercel’s DNS configuration to Name.com’s DNS servers, redirecting visitors to an unauthorized phishing site clone. This issue was limited solely to the domain registrar and DNS configuration levels; Echelon’s smart contracts were not compromised.
