Humanity Protocol suffered a major security breach when a foundation member's private keys were compromised, leading to over $30 million in losses as attackers drained wallets and sold stolen H tokens for Ethereum. The H token's price dropped about 83% amid warnings to avoid bridges and liquidity pools until safety is confirmed. The project, which uses zero-knowledge proofs and biometrics for identity verification, is working with security experts but has not yet announced a recovery plan or reimbursement terms. This incident highlights ongoing risks from private key compromises in the crypto space in 2026.
