CoWSwap's frontend has been flagged for suspected malicious activity after Blockaid reported detecting a frontend attack and marking the domain unsafe. Users are being advised to avoid the dApp entirely while the team investigates. Initial indications point to a compromised interface generating malicious transaction prompts. The primary risk is users unknowingly signing wallet-draining approval transactions. Frontend attacks typically do not compromise smart contracts directly; they manipulate what users see and approve. Anyone who interacted recently should revoke token approvals and review recent transactions immediately.
