After an attacker drained $3.8 million from NEAR Intents, the team went public with a pointed message: “We have identified you, sir.”
NEAR Intents GM Alex Shevchenko tells Laura Shin how the security council linked the exploit accounts to a suspect, why he messaged that person privately and left room for plausible deniability, how a Signal invite encrypted with the attacker’s public key opened a private channel, and why part of the funds came back in XMR.
