PANews June 27 news, on-chain sleuth ZachXBT stated in his personal channel that one hour ago, the stolen funds from the Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO exploits showed signs of commingling, indicating that the attackers behind the two incidents may overlap. ZachXBT believes the above new evidence rules out the possibility that insiders were behind the exploits.
On April 18, 2026, due to an infrastructure compromise, Kelp DAO’s LayerZero bridge was hacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $292 million, allegedly by the Lazarus Group. On June 9, 2026, approximately $32 million was stolen from accounts belonging to the Humanity Protocol team and deployers, caused by a developer’s device being compromised.
