Tradexyz, a perpetuals platform on the Hyperliquid network, reported a security breach on its Gitbook documentation on Monday morning before restoring the pages at 14:15 UTC. The incident prompted a warning to users to avoid clicking any links within the documentation pages while the team investigates the unauthorised activity.
Despite the restoration, the investigation into how the unauthorised access occurred remains ongoing. Degen News reported that the team issued the alert to prevent users from falling victim to potential phishing links or malicious redirects that might have been inserted during the compromise. The platform advised users to remain cautious even though the docs are back online.
Hyperliquid is a decentralised exchange focused on perpetual swaps, with its native token HYPE currently ranked 11th by market value. According to YourKhabri data, HYPE traded at $85.95 at the time of the report, down 2.3 percent over 24 hours with a market capitalisation of $20.6bn. Tradexyz operates as a trading interface within this network, using documentation to guide users through its decentralised finance tools.
Security breaches of documentation sites are often used by attackers to host links that can empty a user's digital wallet. Traders will watch for a formal post-mortem from Tradexyz to confirm if any user funds were put at risk or if the breach was limited to the Gitbook site. The incident suggests that even secondary infrastructure like manuals and guides remains a target for hackers in the decentralised finance sector.
