NEAR Intents announced it has identified the hacker’s identity and issued a 48-hour ultimatum for the hacker to return the funds.

NEAR Intents has identified the individual responsible for the security vulnerability that caused roughly $3.8 million in user fund losses on Thursday, and has given the person a 48-hour deadline to return the funds under the "responsible disclosure" framework. Alex Shevchenko, general manager of NEAR Intents, stated: "We have confirmed your identity." The company also released three distinct wallet addresses to receive Bitcoin, BNB, and Solana. "You understand how responsible disclosure works better than most — this is your final opportunity to take advantage of this mechanism. The window will close after 48 hours," Shevchenko added. On Thursday, NEAR Intents suspended its related services after detecting a vulnerability in the interaction between the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and NEAR Intents smart contracts.
