⚡️79AU The operational hot wallet is suspected to have suffered a private key leak, resulting in losses of approximately 12500000 USD BlockBeats reported that October 8, according to monitoring by Defimon Alerts,BNB Chain on 79thVault may have suffered losses of approximately 12500000 USD。The team’s operational hot wallet typically only makes small transfers to the rewards pool. However, the address recently made 7 separate transfers from the trading pair of 2010000 units of 79AU to external addresses, in amounts of 10000、100000、100000、300000、500000、500000 and 500000 units, respectively.
The attacker carried out approximately 95 swaps back to the same trading pair, causing the pool’s USDT reserves to fall from 15200000 USD to 3900000 USD and cashing out 16249 units of BNB(approximately 12500000 USD). In addition, the operational key transferred another 3.79 units of BNB to the same external address. Another 500000 units of 79AU were transferred to other addresses.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This means that an operational hot wallet normally used for small transfers was allegedly controlled by another party. Large amounts of 79AU were transferred out and sold back into the trading pair, causing the pool’s USDT reserves to fall significantly; however, the private key leak and attribution of the attack have not yet received independent official confirmation.
Why it matters to readers
The decline in trading-pair reserves weakens the market’s tradable depth. Whether the relevant addresses will continue transferring or selling assets also warrants attention.
A hot wallet is a wallet connected to the network that can directly initiate on-chain transactions. If control is compromised, the assets in the wallet may be transferred away.
