ZachXBT Links Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO Attacks to Overlapping Attackers On June 27, 2026, on-chain analyst ZachXBT reported that stolen funds from the Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO exploits show signs of overlap, indicating a potential connection between the attackers. Kelp DAO suffered a significant breach on April 18, 2026, when its LayerZero bridge was compromised, resulting in a loss of approximately $292 million, attributed to the Lazarus Group. Similarly, on June 9, 2026, about $32 million was stolen from the Humanity Protocol due to a compromised developer's device. The new evidence suggests that insider involvement in these attacks can be ruled out. The convergence of funds raises concerns about the methods and motivations of the attackers involved. 10 sources 62
