A security breach in the ZKsync airdrop project has triggered a market reaction, with significant price drops for the associated token and increased scrutiny of safety protocols. The incident involved an unauthorized sale of 66 million ZK tokens from the project’s airdrop allocation, leading to a price drop of over 10% in just an hour. The company claims user funds are secure and that no further ZK is at risk. 110 million tokens were initially issued, and this exploit involved a compromise of the admin account, granting unauthorized access and enabling the sale of these tokens. The incident has raised questions about security measures employed by the project. ZKsync’s community is demanding more transparency regarding the security protocols in place. Trading volume surged as investors and traders reacted to this news, with market capitalization exceeding $173 million, yet dropping significantly in price. Experts are advising on implementing stricter security measures such as multi-party computation wallets to prevent future breaches and restore trust within the community.
