Incident Details
Hackers compromised a computer belonging to EasyFi founder Ankitt Gaur, accessing his private keys which allowed them to transfer $6 million in stablecoins and $120 million worth of EASY. The price of EASY crashed as a result of the low liquidity, limiting the hacker’s total payout to around $80 million. EasyFi followed the breach with a hard fork to “EZ 2.0”, and compensated users with a mix of stablecoins and “IOU tokens” that could later be redeemed for discounted EZ.
Total loss estimated at $80,000,000.
