Blockchain infrastructure company Ankr said on Friday that some of its services provided to Polygon and Fantom were under attack from hackers.
On their Twitter account, Ankr revealed that they are investigating their Polygon and Fantom Foundation Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). They also provided alternate RPCs for the time being.
RPCs are a software communication program used to exchange information across different networks.
Polygon Under Attack
Mudit Gupta, the chief information security officer of 0xPolygon, revealed on Twitter that Ankr’s RPC gateway for Polygon (polygon-rpc.com) and Fantom (rpc.ftm.tools) were compromised by a DNS hijack. He also pointed out that his company has no control over services provided by others.
Fantom has also asked its users not to use the compromised RPC.
