👨‍💻ZKsync Hack Causes ZK Token Drop

An attack on the ZKsync airdrop admin account was confirmed today, resulting in the theft of over $5 million in ZK tokens using a feature that allowed unclaimed tokens to be moved. The attacker took advantage of a private key leak.

Most importantly:

User funds are safe.

The ZKsync protocol and ZK token contract were not compromised.

The ZKsync team has already contained the incident and is investigating.

The ZK token fell more than 15% after the news broke, although it is already showing signs of recovery.

The team has promised to release a detailed report in the coming days and has invited the attacker to negotiate the return of the funds.
