dYdX's v3 website (dydx.exchange) was hijacked through a DNS/domain compromise and replaced with a copycat site that prompts users to connect wallets and approve PERMIT2 transactions to steal tokens; the issue appears linked to a wider series of Squarespace DNS hijacking attacks that affected multiple DeFi platforms, and dYdX has regained control while warning users not to interact with the compromised site until caches are cleared and the domain is fully restored.
