In brief
Humanity Protocol's H token plunged more than 80% after attackers compromised project-linked keys and stole more than $36 million following an employee laptop breach.
Attackers drained 141.2 million H and minted another 200 million H through malicious contract upgrades, prompting the team to halt bridge activity.
The breach marks the latest major DeFi hack of 2026, extending a year in which protocols have already lost hundreds of millions of dollars to exploits.
