What happened
The official initial notice says the registrar attack gave a third party control of the domain. Across says its API and third-party integration users were outside the affected scope, although the team temporarily took the frontend and API offline during containment. The restoration notice pledges to make affected users whole. The user action notice explains how to revoke permissions and report affected wallets. The notices provide no completed compensation or final victim total.
Bitquery identified transfers between 19:02 and 21:53 UTC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain and Optimism, with about $348,000 valued at transfer time. Its estimate uses a common 80/20 split and excludes transfers outside its data or method, including unpriced tokens in the dollar figure. A separate $294,000 figure matches the fee wallet balance, which includes older proceeds. Neither amount establishes the number of people affected or a compromise of the bridge contracts.
