  • Humanity Protocol lost over $32 million due to a security breach on June 9, 2026.
  • A compromised employee laptop allowed the attacker to access private keys and mint new tokens.
  • The H token's value plummeted nearly 90%, raising concerns about potential insider involvement.

On June 9, 2026, Humanity Protocol suffered a significant security breach, losing over $32 million due to compromised private keys linked to an employee's device. The attacker drained funds from at least 17 wallets, leading to a dramatic collapse of the H token's value, which fell nearly 90%. The breach was attributed to malware on a developer's machine, allowing the attacker to mint 100 million new H tokens on the BNB Smart Chain. The incident raised questions about the legitimacy of the breach, with on-chain investigator ZachXBT suggesting it may have been staged. Humanity Protocol's founder confirmed the breach and advised users to avoid interacting with affected systems. The attacker converted stolen assets into approximately 18,510 ETH and 1,548 BNB, with ongoing selling pressure from the newly minted tokens. The situation remains critical as the attacker still controls a significant amount of H tokens, posing a risk to price recovery.
