June Security Beat: Keys Over Code

$75.32M was lost across 32 crypto incidents in June, up from May's $59.52M. No coordinated campaign carried the month, but one targeted operation did. A targeted social-engineering attack against Humanity Protocol reached the keys behind the $H token and drained $32M, roughly 42% of every dollar lost in June. Quantstamp led the independent investigation and traced the tooling to a phishing campaign previously seen targeting macOS users. Offchain, a fresh npm supply chain wave hit Red Hat's packages on the first day of the month, and a PeopleSoft zero-day was exploited for two weeks before Oracle said a word.
