Humanity Protocol to bolster security after $36M hack, founder says

Humanity Protocol founder Terence Kwok stated that the project is significantly strengthening its operational security following a $36 million hack, according to an interview with Cointelegraph. Kwok explained that the root cause of the incident was an operational mistake made during last year's mainnet launch. He said several production keys, including an admin hot wallet key and a quorum of multisig owner keys, were accidentally backed up on a hacked employee's laptop. Kwok noted that the biggest lesson learned from the incident is that operational security is as important as smart transaction security, adding that the team is now completely rebuilding its system.
