The price of Humanity Protocol’s crypto asset crashed following a major security incident that targeted the decentralized identity project.

According to Humanity, hackers drained wallets holding the project’s H tokens after an employee’s laptop storing private keys for interchain transfers was compromised with malware.

“The attack was made possible entirely by key compromise resulting from inadequate key storage practices: production-grade signing keys were backed up to a general-purpose development machine rather than isolated hardware. This is a human and operational security failure.”

Humanity says the loss now amounts to around $36 million.

“Last night, June 8, the H token was hit by a coordinated attack across Ethereum and BSC. While we’re still investigating this incident, we want to be transparent with our community about what happened. As of right now, ~$36M+ has been stolen across both chains and dumped.”

Crypto intelligence platform Santiment says H token went down from $0.72 to $0.10 within hours after the incident. The price drop wiped out the gains earned over the past three weeks when the asset rallied from $0.20.

“$H (Humanity Protocol) lost ~85% in a single 6-hour candle on Jun 8. A reported private-key compromise was the trigger — but a stack of leverage is what made the drop this violent.

~$22.8M in $H flooded onto exchanges in the same window — the largest single 6h inflow of the entire run.”

H token is now changing hands for $0.18.

However, after the bell, media reports regarding another extramarital affair involving Jensen Huang and discussions by the board about his tenure caused Nvidia to drop more than 8%, putting pressure on the prices of most AI computing power-related stocks.
