Binance's CZ does not seem too happy about his follower count on X, but it is pretty easily explainable.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) gateway, eth.limo, has released a report on a recent security incident. The domain was compromised due to an attack on the registrar easyDNS. https://t.co/of1ktfaPss— ETH.LIMO 🦇🔊 (@eth_limo) April 18, 2026 The attacker impersonated a member of the eth.limo team, initiated an account recovery process at easyDNS, and gained access to the settings. They then altered the name server (NS) records and redirected them to Cloudflare. Eth.limo serves as a bridge between Web2 and Web3, providing access to 2 million decentralized sites in the .eth domain. Due to the domain spoofing, users could have been redirected to phishing pages. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin advised against visiting his blog until the issue was resolved. The kind people at @eth_limo have warned me that there has been an attack on their DNS registrar. So please do not visit https://t.co/2EcsFBZY0b or other https://t.co/9nFLru9kS0 pages until they confirm that things are back to normal.You can check my blog via IPFS directly…— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) April 18, 2026 Mark Jeftovic, CEO of easyDNS, acknowledged the company's fault. He described the attack as "sophisticated" and noted that nothing similar had occurred in the provider's 28-year history. Major consequences were avoided thanks to the expansion of DNSSEC. The hacker did not possess the cryptographic signing keys. Most servers rejected the hacker's false responses, resulting in users seeing an error message instead of a malicious site. The eth.limo team stated that no user harm was detected. The project is transitioning to the Domainsure platform, which lacks an account recovery mechanism via support service, preventing a similar attack from recurring. Vercel Breach Cloud provider Vercel also reported a security breach: hackers gained access to some customer credentials. We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers.

In two days the total value locked (TVL) at leading crypto-lending service Aave plunged from $26.3bn to $17.7bn, according to DefiLlama.  Source: DefiLlama.  The AAVE token fell by more than 15% to $91. Its market capitalisation slid from $1.8bn to $1.3bn.  Hourly chart AAVE/USDT, Binance. Source: TradingView.  In Aave v3, pools for USDT and USDC are fully exhausted. Assets worth $5.1bn are frozen; they can be withdrawn only once fresh liquidity arrives or loans are repaid. Source: Aave.  The Kelp hack and its fallout  The plunge in Aave’s metrics was triggered by a hack of the Kelp liquid restaking protocol. On April 18 attackers siphoned 116,500 rsETH worth $293m from Kelp DAO’s LayerZero-based cross-chain bridge. The thieves deposited the stolen tokens into Aave v3 as collateral and borrowed wETH against them. On the platform they took out about $196m; their total positions across Aave, Compound and Euler reached roughly $236m. According to Lookonchain, the operation left the project with a balance-sheet “hole” of around $195m — funds that are already irrecoverable. Due to the KelpDAO exploiter borrowing over 82,600 $ETH ($195M) from #Aave using $RSETH as collateral, bad debt has appeared on #Aave.Many whales have withdrawn funds from #Aave, causing its TVL to drop from $26.396B to $20.114B — a decline of $6.28B.Major withdrawals… pic.twitter.com/rhN28AMul9— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 19, 2026 Curve Finance founder Mikhail Egorov also noted that Aave and other protocols now hold hundreds of millions of dollars in dubious collateral and bad debt.  “Aave has rsETH that cannot be sold, and it has no ETH because it is all lent out. No one can withdraw Ethereum,” he added. At first the team said the Umbrella reserve fund would cover any deficit. It later softened this to “exploring avenues for compensation”.  The rsETH markets on Aave V3 and Aave V4 have been frozen. Aave's contracts have not been exploited and this is an exploit related to rsETH.The freeze follows an exploit of the Kelp DAO rsETH bridge. Freezing the rsETH markets prevents new deposits and borrowing against rsETH…— Aave (@aave) April 18, 2026 The rsETH markets in v3 and v4 are frozen to prevent suspicious activity. wETH reserves are locked on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle and Linea. Pending clarification, several projects suspended use of the Kelp DAO bridge: Curve Finance, Ethena, and other networks and protocols that work with rsETH or LayerZero. Outflows also hit Solana. Journalist Colin Wu noted that on several USDC markets in Kamino — the network’s leading lending protocol — deposit rates and utilisation ratios spiked.  The USDC reserve in the $178m Prime Market is fully exhausted — there are no free funds — and utilisation in several other vaults exceeded 95%.  TVL across DeFi as a whole fell from $99.4bn to $85.8bn.  Source: DefiLlama.  LayerZero’s investigation  Kelp DAO is still determining the root cause. Meanwhile, LayerZero developers shared early findings from their internal probe.  https://t.co/3vIHs3Xgs4— LayerZero (@LayerZero_Core) April 20, 2026 They said North Korean hackers were behind the attack — in particular the TraderTraitor group, implicated in the hacks of Ronin ($625m), Bybit ($1.5bn) and Drift Protocol ($280m).  LayerZero explained that the attackers gained access to a list of RPC servers used by LayerZero Labs’ decentralised verifying network (DVN). They then “poisoned” two of them, causing a fake cross-chain message to be delivered into the DVN. The attackers also launched a DDoS attack on the clean servers so the network would rely on the poisoned ones. Kelp used a single, non-redundant scheme, so the false request passed and the bridge unlocked the tokens. “Exploiting a single point of failure meant that an independent verifier could not intercept and reject the forgery. LayerZero and other external parties had previously informed the project about best practices for DVN diversification. Despite these recommendations, Kelp opted for a 1/1 DVN scheme,” the experts noted.  They stressed that the contamination did not affect other assets or applications. LayerZero continues to work with law enforcement on the investigation and is tracking the stolen funds. In April, an Ethereum Foundation fellow identified 100 North Korean IT agents in Web3 companies.
