Humanity Releases Security Incident Investigation Report: Attack Tools and Methods Bear the Hallmarks of North Korean Hackers; Mainnet Bridge Unaffected
Svmuu News: Humanity has released an independent investigation report by Quantstamp, which reveals that in the H-generation Binance incident, the attacker used tools and methods characteristic of North Korean hackers. The attacker communicated via phishing emails disguised as the Bithumb exchange, luring a project director into clicking a malicious attachment, thereby deploying a remote-control Trojan on the director’s device,ultimately gaining full desktop control and access to wallet private keys. The attackers then launched on-chain attacks on Ethereum and the BNB Chain: on the Ethereum side, they stole keys to upgrade the contract and transfer approximately 141.18 million H tokens,on the BSC side, they took over the ProxyAdmin contract and minted new tokens. The stolen assets were then continuously sold off on Uniswap and PancakeSwap for approximately 8 hours, causing a significant impact on liquidity and market prices. Currently, the H token contract on the Ethereum side has been frozen,the mainnet bridge remains unaffected, but the BSC deployment has been taken over by the attacker and still retains minting permissions. The team is working with exchanges and security firms to advance follow-up disposal and recovery plans. They also remind users to be wary of fake “compensation/claim” links and state that they will release further updates through official channels.
