NEAR Intents embedded a coded message within its public communications directed at an attacker, signaling that the team is aware of the security incident. Developer AlexAuroraDev stated that the protocol's public messages were intentionally written in code to convey the statement "We know what happened" to the unauthorized party. The approach has been compared to a magic act designed specifically for hackers, using technical obfuscation to communicate awareness without making a direct public disclosure. This method allows the project to signal knowledge of the breach through on-chain or public data channels rather than traditional announcements.
