The Fantom Foundation posted on the X platform that a small number of Fantom wallets had been stolen previously, including approximately US$550,000 in Fantom Foundation funds. The vast majority of Fantom Foundation funds (over 99%) have not been affected and remain safe. Although it was initially reported that the attack was carried out via a zero-day vulnerability in Google Chrome, the specific attack mechanism is still under active investigation.
Additionally, a Fantom employee’s personal wallet was affected. Some of the affected wallets were labeled as "Foundation wallets" but have since been reassigned to a Fantom employee, and the incident is being viewed as a targeted attack on an individual. Officials are currently tracking and investigating the employees' lost funds.
According to previous news, according to CertiK monitoring, some wallets on the Fantom Foundation’s Ethereum and Fantom were attacked, with losses currently confirmed to be $657,000. Andre Cronje, director of the Fantom Foundation, said that the funds stolen on Fantom belong to employees and not the foundation.
