Near Intents said Friday that roughly $3.8 million stolen in Thursday's exploit had been returned in full. General manager Alex Shevchenko had told the attacker that the team had identified them and set a 48-hour deadline for returning the funds. Shevchenko said the team was stopping its investigation after the return. An on-chain message that appears to come from the exploiter admitted wrongdoing and urged others to use bug bounties.
