anchored·5FTgnk…rfBGSummary
On June 8-9, 2026, Humanity Protocol suffered a $36 million exploit when attackers compromised private keys stored on a malware-infected employee laptop, enabling them to drain approximately 141 million H tokens from an Ethereum bridge and mint an additional 300+ million tokens on BNB Smart Chain. The protocol's H token crashed 80-89% within hours of the attack becoming public. Blockchain security firm Quantstamp later attributed the attack tooling to DPRK-affiliated threat actors, and the team has since launched a token migration and recovery program with a $1 million USDT bounty for information.
