CoW Swap DNS Hijacked, MetaMask Blocks Phishing Site
**CoW Swap fell victim to a DNS hijacking attack**, prompting MetaMask's phishing detection service to block access to the compromised domain. The attack unfolded in two distinct phases: - **Phase 1**: A wallet drainer that prompted connected wallets to sign malicious transactions - **Phase 2**: Fake wallet modals designed to harvest users' seed phrases and passwords After gaining control of the domain, attackers deployed a phishing site that replicated CoW Swap's interface exactly. **MetaMask users attempting to visit the site will encounter a security roadblock** as a protective measure.
