The control of the Across cross-chain protocol domain has been reclaimed, and the system has resumed operation.

Cross-chain protocol Across has regained control of its domain and restored all systems after its registrar, Namecheap, was compromised in a social engineering attack that handed attackers control of the domain and forced the project to shut down its website. The project said it will fully compensate all affected users and publish a complete post-mortem report in the coming days. The incident highlights the operational risk that domain-level attacks pose to DeFi front ends even when underlying smart contracts remain secure. What to watch next is the full post-mortem, which should detail the scope of user losses and the compensation process.
