Across Protocol frontend, API offline after domain hijacking

Across Protocol (ACX) reported that its frontend and API were taken offline following a domain hijacking attack and will remain unavailable until security is restored. The attacker gained control of the Across domain at approximately 6:45 p.m. UTC on Nov. 10 through a social engineering attack on domain registrar Namecheap. The domain and phishing site have been fully blocked, although some users who visited before the block may have been affected. External integrated services and API users were not impacted. The protocol sent direct messages with transaction histories to users suspected of being affected and advised them to revoke permissions granted to the attacker.
