The attack left a multitude of users vulnerable, as hackers exploited a DNS hijack to redirect visitors from Galxe’s official website to a malicious phishing site. This security breach had a direct impact on user funds, prompting Galxe to act swiftly by devising a comprehensive recovery plan. In their statement, Galxe said, ‘To the users who were affected, we recognize the impact of this security incident and have created a comprehensive recovery plan to make you whole.’
