CoW Swap says it lost $1.2M in recent domain hijacking attack

Decentralized exchange CoW Swap (COW) announced via its official X account that a social engineering attack on April 14 resulted in $1.2 million in damages after users were exposed to a phishing site. The exchange explained that while its core protocol infrastructure was not compromised, a vulnerability in its domain management system was exploited. The Cow Protocol team added that it has since restored the domain and strengthened security through a service migration and registry lock.
