The funds from the $3.8M NEAR Intents hack were sent back in full.

We are stopping the investigation.

Please use bug bounties instead of disrupting the services.

[Vadim (AI, ⋈) @zacodil]

BREAKING: the NEAR Intents exploiter made contact, sending 1 BNB to the recovery wallet with a message attached:

>> Willing to cooperate, reply with your Signal so contact is possible

Sent from the same address the $3.8M left through, inside the 48 hour window.

He sent the same message on Ethereum an hour earlier with 0.295 ETH.

This stupid communist has been in city hall for 6 YEARS. She was in charge of the Homelessness and Housing Committee for years. She keeps acting like some novel outsider who's gonna shake up government. Lady...you ARE government. You ARE the problem.

THEO VON: “Will you define socialism for us?”

MAMDANI: “Socialism, to me, means that you will have WHATEVER YOU NEED to live a dignified life, and that it is the GOVERNMENT’S JOB to deliver on that.”

I’ve heard a line like that before. It came from a famous book, and it was describing the highest stage of communism.

[Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦 @AlexAuroraDev]

We have identified you, sir.

Please return the funds to the following addresses:

Bitcoin: bc1qjhv3hu8rfteh5e8exfmalvx2z3pzlmjlgnzxey
BNB / Ethereum: 0xB18a1aEDfde8B70FD67012C9E9c7a088B4d0C0e7
Solana: AHTfKaeRcaK1sbSG8MFJS2uPxLBChfenigNtvbWEkhKD

You know better than most how responsible disclosure works — this is the last window to use it. After 48 hours, that window closes.

And yet we see the naysayers selling on a $3 million breach that was identified, remedied, and covered. $near to $50.

[BSCN @BSCNews]

NEAR Protocol cannot be stopped.

It's been a superb start for Bitwise's spot @NEARProtocol ETFs, with back-to-back net inflow days to the tune of more than $50M.

Just two days in and the product holds 0.76% of $NEAR's current supply.

Are institutions flipping bullish...?

[Paul Atkins @SECPaulSAtkins]

Since the advent of Bitcoin in 2008, the crypto asset market has grown from a niche curiosity into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class to which investors actively seek exposure. Unfortunately, our rules and regulations have not kept pace.

To that end, today’s proposal would provide a clear regulatory framework for the custody of crypto assets, giving investment advisers and funds a compliant pathway where none existed before—and replacing the grey of uncertainty created by custody rules crafted for a bygone era.

@SenSanders @EricCla58164943 That’s awesome. Colleges are big, bloated bureaucracies. Time for them to be leaner & save kids money. For many it’s a big waste of time & money

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

This is so embarrassing. Come out of your basement one time, get objectively rekt in the debate, call yourself the winner, then retreat to the basement and just rely on the peasants to vote blue no matter who. We deserve better than this clown bullshit.

Solid response to this incident

[Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) @ilblackdragon]

Earlier today, NEAR Intents was exploited for $3.8m. SHIELD, the AI security layer on Intents, detected outlier behavior and Intents were temporarily paused. All of the affected users will be compensated in full.

The attacker exploited a bug in the Omni deposit/withdrawal interaction with the NEAR Intents smart contract isolated to USDT on BSC. The Intents team quickly identified the exact vulnerability and it was fixed within an hour of detection. NEAR Intents and https://t.co/uilYXjPFHF are already back online, except for a few affected chains on Intents. The core NEAR Protocol, NEAR token, and other applications on NEAR were not affected.

NEAR Intents now processes over $4B a month in trading and payments volume, serving as the industry’s connector across chains and ecosystems. At this scale, we have to hold ourselves to a higher security standard. This was the first major exploit on Intents and we will apply all learnings from this incident as part of a full retro and postmortem.

The crypto space is entering a new era of far more sophisticated cyber attacks. Recently, we have seen BitGet, Metamask, Lido all being targeted by criminals equipped with AI systems that are continuously trying to hack all infrastructure. As a space, we need to be far more vigilant and raise the bar on both onchain contract standards and offchain monitoring and proactive prevention.

This includes incorporating formal verification, a key tool for preventing a large class of vulnerabilities. The NEAR ecosystem is already working on a formal verification system for NEAR contracts and will shortly implement it as part of the release process, alongside other security measures that will come out of the postmortem.

Being more proactive against criminal activity is a critical step to ensure the growth and legitimacy of crypto. It’s time to join forces and work together to use all tools at our disposal to detect and prevent malicious activity. SHIELD is our approach to monitoring and AI-based outlier detection. We welcome new SHIELD partners to work with us to share information faster and get better at detecting and containing criminals and exploits across web3.

Becerra should be in prison

[Overton @overton_news]

Steve is manhandling him. It’s not even fair.

Democrat Xavier Becerra begins to UNRAVEL as Republican Steve Hilton lays out the gritty details of the migrant children scandal from Becerra’s time as HHS Secretary.

You can tell this moment really rattled him because after this, Becerra starts stuttering and seems to have nothing left in the reservoir other than “Trump bad!”

HILTON: “The original investigation that he’s now trying to deny was by the New York Times, and it won a Pulitzer Prize.”

“These arguments were made in the primary by other Democrats, including Antonio Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles. And you tried the same trick, then, to deny responsibility.”

“I cannot believe — I’ve seen the testimony of the victims who were sexually assaulted. And you’re proud of putting them into the hands — 200 children were sent to one address that turned out to be a container lot, because you dismantled the vetting that was in place!”

BECERRA: “So….once …..again..uhhhh……these….misrepresentations…these made up facts….the New York Times story didn’t even go into those details about….480…..”

“Donald Trump has a history of trying to……deny immigrants their rights….abusing them….and he did that with kids…”

What?

That last part made absolutely no sense. It was a complete deflection from the points Hilton was putting directly in front of him.

Hilton is dog walking him.

@altcap @RahmEmanuel Rahm is a scumbag Globalist. NWO is his goal

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Only President Trump could convene all the leaders of the top companies developing chips, data centers and frontier models for Super Intelligence. This new Industrial Revolution has already created a million new jobs and is spurring a bigger infrastructure build-out than the railroads, canals and grid combined. I was honored to witness history as the leaders of the frontier lab companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, accepting responsibility for the safe development of their products and imposing new internal controls and external audits. This is far better than waiting years for some international agreement that would probably never happen. President Trump continues to ensure that U.S. remains the technology leader while putting Americans first.

@mattschneidman Does he mean from February through August? That’s a great time for these types of conversations
