Near Intents exploited for $3.8M+ via compromised hot wallet; funds bridged to Bitcoin through KuCoin.
Security & Exploits ·
Near Intents experienced an exploit resulting in losses exceeding $3.8 million after its BSC hot wallet registered multiple irregular outflows. The affected wallet address 0x233c subsequently halted transaction processing, and the service's status page indicates an ongoing incident affecting multiple EVM chains.
The stolen funds were rapidly moved to KuCoin and subsequently bridged to Bitcoin, complicating recovery efforts. The BSC theft address involved in the initial transfer is 0x09fd1f5d9f185067a92493e43aa259ea4ab3ad37.
The precise attack vector and whether the compromise stemmed from a vulnerability in Near Intents' systems or a breach of wallet security practices remain unclear. The incident's full scope across affected EVM chains and any steps toward fund recovery have not yet been detailed.
