Near Intents Issues Ultimatum to Hacker After Identifying Exploiter

Near Intents, a cross-chain settlement platform tied to the NEAR Protocol ecosystem, claims it has identified an exploiter responsible for an attack on its system.

According to Cointelegraph, Near Intents stated that it has traced the identity of the hacker and is demanding a response within 48 hours.

The platform's decision to issue an ultimatum marks a significant development in the industry, where hackers often operate behind layers of anonymity.

Blockchain analytics firms have become increasingly capable of tracing on-chain fund movements, even when attackers attempt to launder stolen assets through mixers or cross-chain bridges.
