**[NEAR Intents Claims Hacker's Identity Locked, Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Return Funds]** BlockBeats News, October 2: NEAR Intents announced that it has identified the individual responsible for the security vulnerability that led to approximately $3.8 million in user fund losses last Thursday. The individual has been given a 48-hour deadline to return the funds under the framework of "responsible disclosure." NEAR Intents General Manager Alex Shevchenko stated: "We have confirmed your identity." Additionally, three different wallet addresses were provided to receive Bitcoin, BNB, and Solana. "You understand the workings of responsible disclosure better than most—this is your last chance to utilize this mechanism. After 48 hours, this window will close." Last Thursday, NEAR Intents suspended related services after discovering a vulnerability in the interaction between the "Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure" and NEAR Intents smart contracts.
