A significant security breach has resulted in the loss of $36 million for the crypto project Humanity. The exploit occurred due to a compromised laptop that held the necessary multisignature keys. This single point of failure allowed attackers to gain control of the project's bridges across two different blockchain networks. The incident highlights a critical security lapse for a startup that had received backing from prominent investors like Pantera and Jump Crypto, underscoring the persistent risks associated with digital asset security and key management.
