Zerobase has refuted claims of a hack, clarifying that the issue stemmed from a vulnerability in third-party middleware. The project team assured that Zerobase's protocol and smart contracts remain secure and fully operational. The incident involved traffic hijacking at an external provider, rather than a direct attack on Zerobase. In response to the incident, Zerobase has implemented new security measures, including an automated system designed to block phishing contracts. The team advises users to remain vigilant by verifying all links and communications to ensure their security.
