Humanity releases incident update: affecting both Ethereum and BSC blockchains; stolen amount confirmed to exceed $36 million

Humanity released an incident update stating that its H token was subject to a coordinated attack on Ethereum and BSC on the evening of June 8, resulting in approximately $36 million worth of tokens stolen and dumped across both chains. The project disclosed that the attack originated from a compromised employee laptop, which led to the leakage of multiple owner keys for the Gnosis Safe controlling the Hyperlane bridge ProxyAdmin. On Ethereum, the attacker seized ownership of the ProxyAdmin and upgraded the contract to a malicious implementation, transferring approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction. On BSC, after similarly gaining control of the ProxyAdmin, the attacker deployed a malicious implementation with infinite minting capabilities, minting 200 million H tokens in two transactions and continuously dumping them. Humanity has suspended deposits and withdrawals on the affected cross-chain bridge and is cooperating with exchanges and law enforcement to investigate the incident and seek partial recovery of the stolen funds.
