Across Restores Systems After Domain Hijacking, Plans User Reimbursements

Across said its systems were fully restored after a social-engineering attack on its domain registrar turned its official website into a phishing page, ending a shutdown earlier Nov. 11.

The cross-chain interoperability platform said it plans to fully reimburse users affected by the incident. Across presented reimbursement as a planned response, while describing system restoration as complete.

The incident centered on Across’ official domain. The platform said social engineering targeting its domain registrar led the address to display a phishing website. Across had taken its website offline earlier in the day, and its latest update says its systems are now fully restored.

The update covers two responses: Across has restored its systems and intends to compensate affected users in full. The platform described the restoration as complete, while full reimbursement remains a plan. Across operates as a cross-chain interoperability platform, and the affected website was its official online destination. Its notice ties the website shutdown to the domain incident.
