Blockchain security platform SlowMist has discovered that 1.67 million EIGEN tokens were stolen from Eigen Labs through an external malicious attack. SlowMist was commissioned to investigate the theft and found that the attack began with a phishing attack on one of Eigen Labs' investors, compromising an employee's email account. The attacker then gained access to the email thread between the investor, Eigen Labs, and the custodian, altering the email addresses to impersonate the investor and redirect the tokens to their wallet. The incident did not affect the official website or token smart contracts, and Eigen Labs is conducting an internal investigation to improve security measures.
