‼️ 1.67 million EIGEN tokens stolen by an attacker

The EigenLayer team stated that the incident occurred as a result of an investor's email being hacked, which allowed the attacker to gain access to the assets.

❌ The hacker managed to steal more than 1.67 million EIGEN (around $5.7 million). He later sold them through a DEX, and transferred the obtained stablecoins to a CEX. Some of the funds have already been frozen, according to EigenLayer.

Project representatives emphasized that the incident is not related to vulnerabilities in the protocol, and the investigation is ongoing.
