June 19, 2026, 3:58 AM
An address suspected of being linked to the recent exploit of Humanity (H) has swapped 130 ETH, worth around $220,000, for 381 BNB, blockchain security firm PeckShield reported. The Humanity team previously announced a recovery plan for the incident, which involved a private key leak and unauthorized token minting. The plan includes permanently burning the existing H tokens on Ethereum, BNB Chain (BSC), and the Humanity mainnet. A new Ethereum-based ERC-20 H token will then be issued and airdropped to eligible holders at a 1:1 ratio. Following an internal investigation, the team also announced that a developer's device was infected, leading to the theft of a private key and the unauthorized minting of 447 million H tokens. A forensic investigation is underway, and the team has offered a $1 million bounty.
