I asked the security director specifically and he said that we did not add the SSL certificate and he was checking to see how this happened.

Bryan admitted within the community that the domain name belongs to the team.

Bryan (Primo) responded: “Thats what we thought too, so our security chief has been pursuing this all day today.”

Bryan responded to community members’ doubts in the community.

In response to this matter, some community members also questioned the security management capabilities of the LayerZero team and asked whether hackers had invaded the website. Bryan (Primo)s answer was Not really, we will take a look.

Finally, many users asked whether the detailed investigation status would be disclosed to the community after the investigation is completed, and Bryan (Primo) also responded in the affirmative.

As for the specific situation, let us wait for the investigation results of Bryan (Primo) and LayerZero.
