Alex Shevchenko, Head of cross-chain protocol NEAR Intents, announced via X, "All stolen funds from the approximately $3.8 million hacking incident have been returned. Accordingly, the related investigation will be suspended." He added, "Please use the bug bounty program instead of actions that cause service disruption (hacking)." Previously, he had warned that the attacker's identity had been confirmed and demanded the funds be returned within 48 hours.
