BNB Chain project 79thVault loses $12.5M after unauthorized use of admin address raises hack or insider concerns

The 79thVault project on BNB Chain suffered a $12.5 million loss after an admin address with OPERATOR_ROLE was used without authorization, affecting nearly 10,000 holders. Security firm GoPlus Security found no multisig or timelock protections on the address, which executed seven privileged calls moving millions of tokens and converting proceeds into over 16,000 BNB. The project described the event as a system upgrade but has not clarified whether it was a hack or insider action, nor detailed the loss breakdown. Most stolen funds remain unmoved in a single address, and the incident raises questions about the project's security and transparency.

The 79thVault $12.5 million loss on BNB Chain is the story's focus, providing context for readers.
