Humanity Protocol's 447M H token attack wasn't a hack—it was operational security FAIL: malware on a dev machine gave attackers full root access to 7 private keys, draining $31M+ because devs backed up keys to the wrong device during mainnet launch

3-of-6 on ETH and 3-of-5 on BSC bought Humanity zero resilience once the quorum keys shared one compromised backup surface; this is Ronin-style validator-key failure wearing a Safe/ProxyAdmin costume. BSC H supply jumping from 141.1M to 441.1M while the attacker still owns ProxyAdmin means any venue pricing that asset as normal wrapped H is trading into an infinite-mint overhang. A migration can repair balances, but it will not repair the market’s new assumption: Humanity’s key ceremony is now part of the risk model, same as its code.
