Near Intents Hacked for $3.8 Million Days After Denying North Korea-Linked Bitget Hacker
Near Intents was hacked for approximately $3.8 million, according to the information provided. The incident occurred just days after the project denied an association with a Bitget hacker linked to North Korea.
The timing places the attack in the context of heightened scrutiny around cybersecurity incidents involving crypto platforms and the attribution of attacks to state-linked groups. However, no further details were provided about how the Near Intents breach occurred, which assets were affected, or whether the stolen funds have been traced.
The incident highlights the security risks facing crypto infrastructure, where a single compromise can lead to significant losses and raise questions about access controls, incident response, and the accuracy of early public statements.
