Gate News message, April 28 — Robinhood users have recently fallen victim to a phishing attack that exploits Gmail’s dot-ignoring feature and vulnerabilities in Robinhood’s account creation process. Attackers registered accounts nearly identical to target email addresses, allowing them to trick Robinhood’s mail servers into delivering fraudulent security alerts containing phishing links to victims’ inboxes.
According to cybersecurity researcher Alex Eckelberry, the malicious emails pass SPF, DKIM, and DMARC verification checks, making them appear to originate from official Robinhood addresses. This authentication bypass significantly increases the attack’s credibility.
Robinhood confirmed that no system breach or customer account compromise occurred, and user funds and personal information remain secure. The platform advised users to delete suspicious emails and avoid clicking on any questionable links.

When DeFi is too slow for young people and too risky for old money: are we all using Treasury bond interest to shoulder junk bond risk?
DeFi once attracted young people with five-figure APY rates, but it is now seen as overpriced and carrying too much risk. Over the past year, more than $1.62 billion has been stolen, and at one point Aave’s interest rate spiked to 12.4%. The fair yield is about 12.55%, with a retail entry threshold of 18%. Institutional players prefer “strategy-isolated vaults” to reduce tail risk. Conclusion: high leverage is no longer in; in the future, we’ll need higher-risk pricing and insurance tools to accommodate both young people and old money.
