<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/defi-a-comprehensive-guide-to-decentralized-finance">Decentralized finance (DeFi)</a> asset management protocol Velvet Capital deactivated its website temporarily to prevent a phishing attempt.&nbsp;
Crypto community members on X reported unusual activity on Velvet Capital’s trading platform on April 23. Some users trying to connect to the front-end were prompted to approve their wallet access to the protocol. 
Internal investigations led Velvet Capital to issue a cybersecurity alert, advising investors to deny all wallet connect requests from the application until further notice.
