The website of Web3 community platform Galxe was offline for about an hour on Oct. 6. Galxe reported on X (formerly Twitter) that its website was down at 14:44 UTC, confirming 40 minutes later that it had experienced a security breach affecting its Domain Name System (DNS) record. It warned against visiting the domain until the situation was remedied.
At the time of writing, Galxe had not confirmed that its website was safe to use again. After the website was restored, some X posters were reporting that it was blocked by Google.

One Web3 cybersecurity service explained:
“Their DNS records have been modified to redirect to a phishing web-site that drains users wallets.”
Crypto detective ZachXBT reported that funds were being stolen from Galxe. The wallet ZachXBT linked to the exploit continued to gather funds after the Galxe website came back online, hovering around $160,000 at 17:15 UTC, according to DeBank.
ZachXBT suggested a link between the Galxe exploiter and the party that attacked the Balancer protocol on Sept. 19. That was the second attack on Balancer in the span of a month.
Once you connect to Galxe, you will be prompted for approval.
If you approve by logging in to WEB3 as usual, all assets will be removed.
