Humanity Protocol said a targeted phishing incident led to stolen director keys that were used in the June 8 $H token exploit, with the BNB Chain deployment now considered permanently compromised. The attacker allegedly upgraded contracts, moved about 141.18 million $H on Ethereum, minted additional tokens on BNB Smart Chain, and sold them via Uniswap and PancakeSwap over roughly eight hours. The project said the Ethereum contract was frozen using a clean multisig, while the canonical Humanity Mainnet bridge was not impacted.

It also flags a June 15 XRPL update to v3.2.0 that it says will cut banks' server-node load by 40% and rename the software from rippled to xrpld.
