EasyDNS Migrates eth.limo to Domainsure, Rolls Out Changes After Hijack Admission
EasyDNS is migrating the Ethereum Name Service gateway eth.limo to Domainsure and implementing procedural changes after admitting responsibility for a social engineering breach that hijacked the domain. The attack began April 17 at 7:07 p.m. EDT, with nameservers switched to Cloudflare at 2:23 a.m. EDT and Namecheap at 3:57 a.m. EDT on April 18, before restoration at 7:49 a.m. EDT after about five hours. DNSSEC protections blocked malicious responses, protecting ~2 million .eth domains with no confirmed user impacts; Vitalik Buterin warned users to avoid eth.limo for IPFS alternatives, highlighting Web3 DNS risks but no ETH price effects.
