Across Protocol Restores Site After Namecheap Social Engineering Attack

The recovery matters less than the vector: the breach came through a registrar's human layer, not a smart contract flaw, which puts domain-level custody in the same risk bucket as code for any protocol with a public front end. The protocol's commitment to make affected users whole shifts the focus to how that is funded and whether the unconfirmed loss estimate holds up. Whether registrar-level social engineering becomes a recurring pattern across DeFi front ends is the open question worth watching.
