NuNet Private Key Leak: $462.73K Reported Loss

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

An attacker gained control of NuNet’s Ethereum deployer/minting private key and called mint() on the NTX token contract, issuing 408,532,878.13 NTX to the attacker’s address. The mint function had no supply-cap check, so possession of the key was enough to create new tokens. PeckShield valued the unauthorized mint at approximately $462,730 at the time of the incident.
