Web3 cybersecurity firm Hacken had a cybersecurity incident of their own when the <button class="define-target" id="private-key">private key</button> belonging to a <button class="define-target" id="wallet">wallet</button> with <button class="define-target" id="mint">mint</button> access for the project's $HAI token was leaked. According to Hacken, the leak was attributable to "human error during architectural changes". After a malicious party gained access to the key, they minted around 900&nbsp;million $HAI on the Ethereum and BNB chains, almost doubling the total supply. The attacker only profited around $250,000, but they crashed the token price by around 97% in the process.
