PANews reported on October 5 that EigenLayer disclosed that an investor's email transferring tokens to a custodial address was hijacked by a malicious attacker. The hacker replaced the specific address in the email, resulting in 1,673,645 EIGEN being mistakenly transferred to the attacker's address. SlowMist Cosine published an analysis on the X platform, saying: "The attacker may have planned for a long time. The attacker's address first received 1 EIGEN, and after about 26 hours, it received 1,673,644 EIGEN, all from the 3/5 multi-signature address (0x87787389BB2Eb2EC8Fe4aA6a2e33D671d925A60f). Then, more than an hour later, various coin washing began. Gas came from ChangeNow, and the illegally obtained EIGEN was mainly exchanged for USDC/USDT, and was mainly washed through platforms such as HitBTC. The official reason for the attacker's success was that the "email was hacked." It is estimated that in the content of the email, the expected received EIGEN that should be sent The wallet address of the project was replaced with the attacker's address, causing the project party to transfer EIGEN to the attacker's address. Even if 1 EIGEN was transferred first, the attacker might have transferred 1 EIGEN to the intended recipient address after receiving 1 EIGEN, causing the intended recipient to think that the entire process was correct... Of course, this is just speculation, and the specific details are subject to official disclosure. "
