<p>Humanity Protocol, a Layer-2 blockchain focused on digital identity for Web3, is facing a major setback after a security breach. The attack, linked to compromised wallet keys, resulted in more than $30 million being drained from wallets associated with the project.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a result, the H token crashed nearly 90%, dropping to $0.074.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="h-how-a-wallet-key-breach-turned-into-a-market-meltdown" class="wp-block-heading">How a Wallet Key Breach Turned Into a Market Meltdown</h2>
<p>The incident began after attackers gained access to the private keys of a member of the Humanity Foundation, according to an official statement from the project.</p>
<p>On-chain data shows the exploiter drained funds from at least 17 wallets before rapidly swapping the assets for ETH and BNB through decentralized exchanges, including KyberSwap and PancakeSwap. Analysts tracking the attacker reported that the wallet currently holds roughly $27 million worth of ETH while continuing to offload H tokens into the market.</p>

<p>The aggressive selling triggered a sharp collapse in the token’s price.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Within 24 hours, H fell from around $0.74 to nearly $0.12, wiping out more than 80% of its value and at one point pushing losses close to 90%.</p>
<h2 id="h-humanity-protocol-urges-users-to-avoid-bridges-and-liquidity-pools" class="wp-block-heading">Humanity Protocol Urges Users to Avoid Bridges and Liquidity Pools</h2>
<p>Following the attack, the team urged users not to interact with bridges or liquidity pools until further notice.</p>
<p>“We’re aware of a security incident involving the compromise of private keys belonging to a member of the Humanity Foundation,” the project said, adding that it is working with security firms and exchange partners to assess the damage.</p>
<p>The team also stated that core protocol funds remain secure and promised to provide verified updates as the investigation continues.</p>
<h2 id="h-zachxbt-questions-the-official-explanation" class="wp-block-heading">ZachXBT Questions the Official Explanation</h2>
<p>While Humanity Protocol described the event as a security breach, not everyone is convinced.</p>
<p>Well-known on-chain investigator ZachXBT <a href="https://x.com/zachxbt/status/2064187246815989893" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">publicly</a> challenged the project’s explanation, suggesting the timing of the incident appeared suspicious. The breach occurred shortly before investor token unlocks, prompting speculation across the crypto community.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 <p>“The incident seems possibly staged,” adding that he was not convinced by the team’s explanation.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://x.com/zachxbt/status/2064191049267052853" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ZachXBT later</a> called on Humanity Protocol to disclose any active market-maker agreements, stating that the community deserves greater transparency.</p>
<p>The incident has become one of the largest crypto security breaches of the month and could have lasting consequences for Humanity Protocol.</p>
