Across Protocol said at 01:16 UTC on Nov. 11 that it had regained control of its across.to domain and that all systems were operational, following assistance from Namecheap’s founder. The restoration ends an outage caused by a domain takeover that had sent visitors to a phishing site, according to the protocol’s official X account.

Across regains control of across.to

The protocol said an attacker had obtained control of its domain through a social-engineering attack targeting registrar Namecheap. Across disclosed the incident at 18:45 UTC on Nov. 10 and said the compromised domain had been redirected to a phishing website.

The latest update establishes that the domain is again under Across’s control and that its systems are running. Across did not provide further technical details about the social-engineering attack or the period during which users were exposed to the phishing redirect in the cited update.

Phishing losses and affected-user count unresolved

The financial impact on users has not been independently confirmed by Across. Security firm GoPlus estimated roughly $350,000 in losses across six blockchain networks, according to crypto.news.

Because the protocol had not confirmed either the loss total or the number of users affected, the estimate should not be treated as an Across-confirmed accounting of losses. A phishing redirect can expose visitors to fraudulent prompts, while the available reporting does not establish the final losses tied to the incident.

Reimbursement and post-mortem

Across has pledged to make all affected users whole and said it would publish a full post-mortem in the following days, Cointelegraph reported on Nov. 11.

The planned disclosure is the protocol’s announced next step and could clarify the attack path, the number of affected users and the basis for any reimbursements. Until then, the reported $350,000 figure remains GoPlus’s estimate rather than a loss total verified by Across.
