[Near Intents Recovers $3.8 Million Stolen Funds, Investigation Terminated] Odaily Planet Daily News: Cross-chain exchange service Near Intents announced that the $3.8 million stolen in a previous exploit has been fully returned, and the team has ceased its investigation. Near Intents General Manager Alex Shevchenko had previously issued a 48-hour deadline for the attacker to return the funds, providing Bitcoin, BNB, Ethereum, and Solana addresses. The attacker admitted misconduct in an on-chain message, stating that all funds had been returned and urging others to report issues through bug bounty programs. The incident stemmed from a vulnerability in the interaction between its Omni deposit and withdrawal layer and the main smart contract. Near Intents had suspended services and promised full compensation to users. (Decrypt)
