NEAR Intents says its identified the hacker, gives 48-hour ultimatum
Summary
NEAR Intents said it identified the person behind a security breach that drained $3.8 million in user funds and gave them 48 hours to return the money under a “responsible disclosure” approach. Its general manager said the attacker was identified and shared wallet addresses for repayment in Bitcoin, BNB, and Solana. The platform paused services after detecting a bug involving the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and its smart contract. A preliminary investigation found $3.8 million was stolen, and NEAR Intents pledged to fully compensate affected users. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said the stolen funds were sent to KuCoin and bridged to Bitcoin.
