Major Crypto Heist Hits Humanity Protocol, Over $36 Million Lost

In a shocking turn of events, the decentralized identity initiative known as Humanity Protocol fell victim to a substantial security breach, resulting in a staggering loss of over $36 (approx. Rs 10,080) million between June 8 and June 9, 2026. The breach occurred when hackers gained access to several bridge admin keys that were carelessly stored on a single employee’s laptop.

As a direct consequence of this incident, the value of the H token plummeted by an alarming 89%. To make matters worse, the attackers didn’t just take the funds; they also minted a whopping 300 million unauthorized tokens, amplifying the chaos surrounding the breach.

This incident raises critical questions about security practices within the crypto space, especially for projects that handle sensitive information. As the community reacts to this massive loss, it’s clear that vigilance and robust security measures are more crucial than ever in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
