QAN Platform Hack
What happened
QAN Platform Bridge was hacked due to a private key compromise. The hacker gained access to the private key of the bridge deployer address and withdrew $QANX tokens from the bridge contract on both Ethereum and BSC chains.
QAN Platform is the bridge between Ethereum and BSC chains. The hacker compromised the private keys of the bridge contract deployer and withdrew 1,444,000,000 $QANX tokens from the BSC chain and 1,459,000,000 $QANX tokens from the Ethereum chain. Consequently, the attacker swapped $QANX tokens which led to a drop in the token price by more than 99%.
The hacker managed to withdraw 1,165,500 $USD worth of assets through TornadoCash.
