HAI token plummets 97%, Hacken claims malicious minting attack due to private key leak

BlockBeats news, on June 23, Ukrainian cybersecurity company Hacken stated that the recent HAI token plummeted by 97% due to a "human error" that led to the leak of the private key for wallets with minting permissions. The attacker illegally minted approximately 900 million HAI on the Ethereum and BNB chains, resulting in a market capitalization loss of about 5.5 million dollars and cashing out approximately 250,000 dollars through BSC DEX. Hacken stated that the deployed wallet was unaffected, has recovered the relevant permissions, and is considering compensating token holders through a token swap. (The Block)
