CoinFeed reported on March 21 that BONKfun announced on its X platform that its official website was attacked by malicious social engineering on March 11. The attackers hijacked the BONKfun domain through its domain service provider and transferred it to an external registrar. The team confirmed that this incident was not caused by a breach of BONK's or BONKfun's internal systems, codebase, or team accounts. Following the incident, the team immediately took measures: shutting down the website, coordinating with wallet service providers to mark the domain as malicious, and controlling the impact on users. This attack resulted in approximately $30,000 in losses for customers, and the team will compensate affected users at 110% to cover potential opportunity costs.
