What happened
NEAR Intents was exploited through a bug in the interaction between its Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and the NEAR Intents smart contract, allowing unauthorized withdrawals. The team stopped services, patched the contract-side vulnerability, and temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals across multiple networks while completing fixes to the Omni infrastructure. The stolen funds were traced toward KuCoin and then BTC, and NEAR Intents said the losses would be compensated in full
