ZachXBT highlighted on-chain data showing merged funds from the Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO attacks, suggesting possible coordination between the attackers. Kelp DAO’s LayerZero bridge was compromised on April 18, 2026, with $292 million stolen and linked to the Lazarus Group. Humanity Protocol lost $32 million on June 9, 2026, due to compromised developer devices. The latest protocol update rules out internal breaches as the cause.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that ZachXBT posted that one hour ago, the stolen funds from Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO, both recently targeted in attacks, converged, suggesting potential overlap between the attackers behind the two incidents.

On April 18, 2026, the LayerZero bridge of Kelp DAO was compromised due to infrastructure damage, resulting in the theft of approximately $292 million, with the Lazarus Group accused of being the attacker. On June 9, 2026, approximately $32 million was stolen from the Humanity Protocol team’s address and deployer due to compromised developer devices.

The new evidence rules out the possibility of an insider attack.
