Blockchain security firm Resonance Security has introduced a new tool to help web3 protocols defend against DNS and CDN manipulations. This tool, named “Harmony,” aims to capture continuous snapshots of the web state, including DNS records and scripts of crypto websites, to detect unauthorized modifications in real-time.

According to a press release, Harmony will enable crypto investors to identify early CDN hijackings and DNS manipulations. These tactics are increasingly used by malicious actors to create fraudulent websites and steal personal information. Charles Dray, Resonance Security’s CEO, stated that the solution will help projects avoid DNS takeovers and protect their sensitive assets from black-hat hacking groups.

“The goal is to keep any organization’s cybersecurity strategies in tune with continuously evolving cyberattacks.” – Charles Dray

Recent DNS Hijacking Incidents

DNS hijacking has recently become a favored attack vector among cybercriminals. Incidents involving compromised domains, such as those affecting protocols like Celer Network and Compound Finance, highlight the vulnerability of crypto websites. Security experts believe that approximately 11 platforms, including Pendle Finance, Polymarket, and THORChain, might still be potential targets.

Recommendations for Domain Security

Multiple crypto projects have reported mysterious domain hijackings from their accounts. It is recommended to consider transferring domains to more secure platforms such as:

  • Cloudflare
  • AWS Route53
  • MarkMonitor
  • CSCDBS

Paradigm’s anonymous researcher, samczsun, suggested that these hacks might have originated from Google Domains accounts associated with these protocols. Last year, Squarespace acquired Google Domains in a deal valued at $180 million.

Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Security

Resonance Security’s new solution utilizes artificial intelligence to assess results and eliminate false positives. This minimizes research time for both the customer and Resonance’s incident response team.
