Across Says It Recovered Its Official Domain After a Hijacking

Across says it has regained control of its official domain after a hijacking and that its systems are operating normally again. The update follows a warning for users to avoid the app, wallet connections and signing transactions or authorizations on the site.

The cross-chain protocol said it will fully compensate every user affected by the domain incident. It plans to release a full incident analysis in the coming days, but has not detailed the cause or the incident’s full scope.

Its initial advisory told users to stay away from the application, avoid wallet connections, and refrain from signing transactions or authorizations on the website until further notice. Across has not disclosed the total number of affected users.

Across said the white-hat security group SEAL 911 helped flag the hijacked domain as a phishing site. It also said the founder of Namecheap assisted with securing its account and investigating the incident. The investigation remains underway.
