The Fantom Foundation has confirmed that it and its employees suffered losses in a recent attack, with a total of $550,000 worth of Fantom Foundation funds being compromised. However, the majority of the Foundation’s holdings, more than 99%, were unaffected by the attack. The Foundation also revealed that one of its employees was targeted in a personal attack, potentially losing $3.4 million. The attack is believed to have been carried out through a Google Chrome vulnerability, although investigations are still ongoing. Reports suggest that the attacker’s wallet held $6.7 million at one point, and these funds have now been consolidated into another Ethereum address holding $7.0 million. It is suspected that the majority of this balance is related to the hack.
