CoW Swap Warns Users of Frontend Attack Risk

[encrypted]

CoW Swap has issued an urgent warning after suspicious activity was detected on its frontend at swap.cow.fi. The alert came from Blockaid, which identified potentially malicious behavior that could trick users into signing harmful transactions.

Unlike traditional hacks, this type of attack targets the interface users interact with—not the underlying smart contracts. This means everything can appear normal, while hidden prompts may grant attackers access to wallets. Users who unknowingly approve these transactions risk losing their funds.

The team is actively investigating the issue and has strongly advised users to avoid the platform entirely until further notice. Even though the protocol’s token hasn’t reacted significantly in price, the immediate risk lies with users interacting with the compromised frontend.

frontend attacks like this on CoW Swap are dangerous because users trust what they see, not what’s actually being signed.
