Hot Wallet Compromise via Social Engineering
What happened

How it happened
- The attackers obtained some team members' logged-in sessions and credentials, then accessed private keys for company hot wallets.
- Zerion described the incident as an AI-enabled social-engineering campaign rather than a smart-contract exploit.
