The Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Fog Security, 23pds, stated that Alex Shevchenko, the General Manager of NEAR Intents, indicated that the exploiters of the NEAR Intents vulnerability transferred 1 BNB to the recovery wallet and left a message expressing willingness to cooperate and requested the other party to provide a Signal contact.This transfer came from the same address that previously moved approximately 3.8 million USD. About an hour ago, that address also transferred 0.295 ETH on the Ethereum network and sent the same message.

According to Cointelegraph, NEAR Intents General Manager Alex Shevchenko stated that the team has confirmed the identity of the hacker behind the previous security incident and has given them a 48-hour deadline to return the stolen funds through "responsible disclosure."NEAR Intents previously suspended services due to a vulnerability in the interaction between the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and NEAR Intents smart contracts. Preliminary investigations indicate that approximately $3.8 million in user funds were stolen in this incident, and the team has committed to fully compensating affected users.On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that the stolen funds were subsequently transferred to KuCoin and converted to Bitcoin across chains.

NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin stated that NEAR Intents and near.com have resumed operations, but some related services of the affected networks are still restricted.Illia mentioned that the approximately $3.8 million attack exploited vulnerabilities in the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and the interaction with NEAR Intents smart contracts, with the impact limited to USDT on BSC. The NEAR core protocol, NEAR tokens, and other applications were not affected, and affected users will receive full compensation.

According to Shield's monitoring, NEAR Intents attackers have transferred the stolen funds to Kucoin and bridged them to BTC. The attacker's address has interacted with an address marked as North Korea's LazarusGroup (0x098B7...E2f96).

NEAR Intents released a security notice confirming that it has encountered an attack. Preliminary investigations indicate that the vulnerability originated from a defect in the interaction between the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and contracts. The contract vulnerability has been fixed, and core services are expected to be restored within 1 hour, with a commitment to fully compensate for the damaged assets.NEAR Intents stated that deposit and withdrawal services for multiple public chains, including BSC, Polygon, and TON, will be additionally suspended for about 12 hours. The relevant cases have been reported, and on-chain tracking has begun.Subsequently, on-chain detective ZachXBT indicated that NEAR Intents' BSC hot wallet experienced multiple abnormal outflows of funds, with the stolen funds transferred to KuCoin and further cross-chain to the Bitcoin network. The amount involved has exceeded 3.8 million USD.

Cross-chain trading protocol NEAR Intents stated in a post on X that on September 24, Bitget was attacked, resulting in approximately $387.5 million in funds being stolen, most of which were aggregated into Ethereum and converted to ETH. The hacker attempted to transfer over $50 million through NEAR Intents, but ultimately only $166,000 was successfully transferred, while $503,000 was intercepted during the execution process.NEAR Intents indicated that the relevant data comes from on-chain tracking tools, Arkham, internal logs, and risk control layer SHIELD, among other sources. The figures listed are rounded estimates, with an assessment deviation of no more than 10%. SHIELD identified over $50 million in money laundering attempts and has filtered out duplicate flows, of which $166,000 has been successfully transferred, while another $503,000 was frozen midway through execution and remains restricted, pending legal and recovery procedures.NEAR Intents stated: permissionless does not equal neutral, the team refuses to assist in cashing out stolen assets and will forgo the bounty from this incident to allow Bitget to recover funds as much as possible. Bitget previously established a 5% + 5% bounty arrangement. NEAR Intents also mentioned that the protocol will remain permissionless but set boundaries, and will combat money laundering of stolen funds, while suggesting Bitget contact legal and law enforcement channels to handle the frozen funds.

The research institution IRF, focused on building decentralized financial infrastructure for AI agents, announced the acquisition of Nomina. The scope of the acquisition includes technology, intellectual property, brand, and infrastructure, with the most significant being Nomina's intent execution protocol SolverNet. The infrastructure related to Nomina has processed over 7.5 million transactions to date.SolverNet has gone live and has been validated in a production environment, covering the Ethereum mainnet and major Layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, and has integrated with protocols like Symbiotic, Gearbox Protocol, and Cygnus Finance. The intent mechanism allows agents to declare expected outcomes, while the solver network competes to deliver, handling complexities such as routing, cross-chain, and gas management at the underlying level.IRF will launch on-chain yield deployment, cross-chain and cross-currency fund transfers, as well as automated configuration and rebalancing strategies based on SolverNet, with each strategy expressed through a single intent and executed by the solver network. IRF plans to release related technologies in the coming months as part of the financial product roadmap for agents.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen referred to TPLF (third-party litigation financing) profits as a "malignant factor" in the financial system. She stated that the Treasury is reviewing the $5,000 check proposal. The President's intention regarding the $5,000 checks is "very real."Last week, it was reported that Trump stated that if the Republican Party wins both houses of Congress, they will issue $5,000 to every American adult.

Investor Gavin Baker stated in Friday's All-In Podcast that marginally, Anthropic's share is flowing towards OpenAI, open-source models, and Grok, but its growth remains very rapid. Baker mentioned that if the $65 billion related data is accurate, then someone leaked this information to assist Anthropic's upcoming IPO roadshow, allowing it to claim a higher annual recurring revenue (ARR) after expanding capacity from July to September.Baker pointed out that following statements related to Anthropic's potential IPO roadshow in September or October, given OpenAI's aggressive approach to locking in computing power and almost certainly capturing significant market share, the market should subsequently see leaks from OpenAI to demonstrate its faster growth. He stated that there will be a lot of speculation surrounding this IPO.Baker also noted that the $65 billion data is impressive for the capacity-limited Anthropic and the entire AI industry, even though Anthropic may be losing some market share. He also mentioned that the number of Codex users has nearly doubled in the past five weeks.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that, given the short-selling interest in SATA tokens has increased by about 1 million shares in the past 30 days, and the borrowing cost has currently reached about a 70% annualized rate, the company is seeking market feedback to explore whether it should suspend the strategy of issuing new SATA tokens at a fixed price of $100, instead allowing the market to determine its liquidation price.Cole pointed out that although $100 remains the target price, some investors believe that Strive will continue to issue additional tokens at that price point, thereby creating an invisible ceiling. Retaining issuance flexibility will increase the risks and costs of short-selling SATA, and while it may exacerbate market volatility in the short term, it aims to reduce long-term volatility and curb speculative short-selling.
