Cross-Chain Protocol Across: Domain Hijacked After Registrar Hit by Social Engineering Attack

As reported by TechFlow on November 11, according to an official announcement from cross-chain protocol Across, its domain registrar Namecheap suffered a social engineering attack, through which attackers gained control of the Across domain. The project team said the attack occurred at around 02:45 Beijing Time; the team received an alert within 15 minutes and began shutting down the website.

Across said Cloudflare subsequently revoked the domain's DNS records, and the phishing site is no longer accessible. Some users who had previously accessed the site may have been affected; third-party integrations and API users were not affected. The project team advised users who believe they may have been affected to contact the team and revoke the attackers' permissions. The frontend and API will remain offline until the domain's security is restored.
