Cream Finance was the first to report the DNS breach where hackers posted seed phrase requests following which the official Twitter handle of the Defi protocol requested users to avoid using their platform and to never reveal their seed phrase.

Our DNS has been compromised by a third party; some users are seeing requests for seed phrase on https://t.co/Hr6S4Fqodo. DO NOT enter your seed phrase.

We will never ask you to submit any private key or seed phrases.
