Vitalik Buterin advised users to avoid eth.limo after the ENS gateway's DNS registrar was compromised, posing potential phishing risks.

Summary

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has issued a warning to users following a DNS registrar attack on the popular Ethereum Name Service (ENS) gateway, eth.limo. The hijack allowed attackers to potentially redirect traffic to malicious sites, exposing users to phishing or malware. While the ENS and IPFS infrastructure remains secure, this incident highlights the risks inherent in using centralized DNS layers to access decentralized web services. Users are advised to avoid all *.eth.limo URLs until the team confirms the issue is resolved.
