Back Kucoin Echelon Website Restored After Unauthorized DNS Changes by Registrar
ME News reports that on November 1 (UTC+8), the modular money market Echelon tweeted that access to its official website has been fully restored and domain resolution is functioning normally. After investigation, the team confirmed the incident resulted from unauthorized changes to the nameservers at the domain registrar level. The domain is managed via Vercel, with Name.com serving as the registrar. The nameservers were improperly changed to the registrar’s DNS, causing visitors to be redirected to a phishing clone site. The issue was limited to the domain registrar and DNS configuration; Echelon’s smart contracts were unaffected.
Previously, Echelon tweeted yesterday that its domain may have been redirected to an unauthorized website. (Source: Foresight News)
