🚨 SECURITY ALERT: Across Protocol’s WEBSITE HAS BEEN HIJACKED. Users could be at risk of losing funds.
A hacker reportedly exploited social engineering to take control of Across Protocol’s domain through its registrar, Namecheap.
Around 18:45 UTC, the attacker seized across(.)to and turned the official website into a phishing trap.
⚠️ The consequences could be serious.
Users who visited the compromised website and connected their wallets may have exposed themselves to malicious transactions or unauthorized token approvals.
Across Protocol has warned that some users may have been affected and promised to make them whole.
The team also says Namecheap has been unresponsive, forcing Across to keep its application and API offline.
🚨 WHAT USERS SHOULD DO NOW:
If you connected your wallet to across(.)to today, immediately review and revoke any permissions you granted.
Do NOT interact with the compromised website or sign suspicious transactions.
This incident highlights a critical DeFi security risk:
Even when smart contracts are secure, a compromised website or domain registrar can become an attacker's entry point.
Your wallet security is only as strong as the links you trust.
