A hacker who breached the Humanity Protocol’s infrastructure has minted 100 million $H tokens on BNB Smart Chain, worth roughly $11.4 million at the time of creation. The freshly minted tokens are now a ticking time bomb of selling pressure for a project that was valued above $1 billion just days ago.
The broader attack has already drained over $30 million from at least 17 wallets tied to the Humanity Foundation. The H token’s price cratered 80-90% within hours, falling from highs near $0.67 to as low as $0.05.
How the attack unfolded
The breach traces back to something painfully mundane: a compromised employee laptop. That single point of failure gave the attacker access to the Humanity Foundation’s private keys, which in turn unlocked administrative control over the protocol’s BNB Smart Chain deployment.
With admin privileges in hand, the attacker minted 100 million H tokens out of thin air, then began systematically converting stolen assets into harder-to-seize forms. The attacker moved funds into approximately 18,510 ETH, valued at around $30.8 million, plus 1,548 BNB worth roughly $924,000.
