Across Protocol restores website after hackers hijack domain
The cross-chain bridge said a social engineering attack targeting domain registrar Namecheap allowed hackers to redirect users to a phishing site.
Cross-chain bridge Across Protocol said it has regained control of its website after a social engineering attack on Tuesday enabled attackers to gain control of its domain, replacing its website with a phishing site.
In a post on Wednesday, Across said the across.to domain is back under their control with help from Namecheap founder Richard Kirkendall, and that all systems are now working normally.
“All affected users will be made whole. We’ll share a full post-mortem in the coming days,” the team said on X.
