SlowMist CISO: The Fantom Foundation Was Stolen Because the Foundation or Employees Were Attacked by Phishing Attacks
23pds, the Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, stated in a post that yesterday the Fantom Foundation reported being hacked. Based on our analysis of the on-chain transfer method and our past emergency experience, it is likely that the private key was stolen.
Fantom Foundation: About US$550,000 of foundation funds have been affected, and more than 99% of the funds are still safe.
Fantom Foundation has issued a statement regarding the wallet attack incident, stating: We have learned that there have been reports of a small number of Fantom wallets being leaked earlier today. Currently, we can confirm that the related wallets have been affected, including approximately $550,000 of Fantom Foundation funds. The vast majority of the Fantom Foundation's funds (over 99%) have not been affected and are still secure. Although there are preliminary reports of a zero-day attack through Google Chrome, we are actively investigating the attack mechanism. The personal wallets of Fantom employees were stolen, and some of the affected wallets were marked as "Foundation wallets", but they are no longer used by the organization and have been reallocated to Fantom employees, making this a targeted personal attack. Currently, the funds lost by the employee are being tracked and investigated.
