Across Protocol restores website after hackers hijack domain

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.

The update follows Across’s Tuesday warning to users to avoid its app amid reports of drained wallets. The total losses and number of affected users have not yet been disclosed.
