đš EigenLayer was hacked, 1.67 million EIGEN were mistakenly transferred to the hacker's address!
Cryptocurrency community, the latest security incident news! The EigenLayer project team encountered an email attack. According to SlowMist Cosine's analysis, the attacker seemed to have planned for a long time. First, he received a test transfer of 1 EIGEN. 26 hours later, 1673645 EIGEN was transferred from the multi-signature address to the hacker's wallet.
The attacker then exchanged these tokens for stablecoins through a decentralized trading platform and attempted to launder money on a centralized exchange. Fortunately, some funds have been frozen.
EigenLayer officials said that this was an email hacking incident, and the wallet address that was supposed to be sent to the legitimate recipient was replaced with the attacker's address. At present, they are working with relevant platforms and law enforcement agencies to recover the funds.

As the cryptocurrency market matures, security issues are becoming more and more important. Every project must take all necessary measures to protect the interests of investors. Let us hope that EigenLayer can properly solve this problem, learn lessons from it, and strengthen future security protection.
This incident reminds us that even large projects cannot relax their vigilance on security. Email security, strict control of internal processes, and multi-layer verification of external communications are all key to preventing such attacks.
