My main position in Eigen will be fully unlocked today—

Seeing this news really shook me; it once again proves that the world is indeed a makeshift stage;

To sell or not to sell, that is the question! What does everyone think?

Cause of the incident:

EigenLayer officially confirmed this event on social media, stating that a hacker successfully hijacked an investor's email communication regarding the transfer of tokens and altered the target address. Subsequently, this investor (who was actually the hacker) received and transferred 1,673,645 EIGEN tokens.

Hacker's strategy:

From the operational traces, it seems the hacker was premeditated, first receiving 1 EIGEN as a test, and then, after obtaining a large quantity of EIGEN, conducted a coin washing operation to attempt to obscure the flow of funds.

Community response and rescue:

After the incident, some community members and developers quickly took action, trying to rescue some of the stolen EIGEN by monitoring on-chain activities. Although it is unclear how much was ultimately recovered, there were indeed community members or groups that took action.

Market impact:

The stolen EIGEN was sold below market price, leading to a negative impact on the EIGEN price in the short term. It was reportedly sold at a price of $3.3, which raised questions about EigenLayer's security and criticism of its governance.

EigenLayer's response:

EigenLayer officially stated that this attack did not involve a protocol vulnerability, and they are cooperating with relevant platforms and law enforcement agencies. Some funds have been frozen in an attempt to recover losses and track the hacker.

Let's talk about the impact: to be honest, this incident poses a bit of a trust crisis, especially with some doubts raised about the governance model and security measures, leaving two questions:

What kind of institution would have such a large unlock?

Why are security audits and communication strategies so lagging behind?
