June 12, 2026, 6:45 PM
Security firm Quantstamp has released its investigation report on the Humanity (H) token security incident that occurred on June 8. According to the report, the hacker gained remote access to an executive's device through a phishing attack, stealing wallet data and private keys. This allowed them to upgrade the H token contract and move approximately 141.18 million tokens. The attackers also seized proxy administrator privileges on the BNB Smart Chain to mint additional H tokens. Quantstamp explained that the tools and certificate signing patterns found in the attack exhibit the typical characteristics of hacking linked to North Korea (DPRK).
