According to BlockBeats news on October 9, MLM monitoring reported that a certain Hyperliquid Whale Wallet liquidated a long order worth 16 million USD in HYPE about 11 hours ago and sold 100,000 HYPE (approximately 4.4 million USD). The reason seems to be that its Private Key was leaked, resulting in the account being completely emptied: approximately 17 million USD in funds were stolen from its Hyperliquid account; additionally, about 3.1 million USD worth of assets deposited in the Plasma Syrup Vault (liquidity pool) were also stolen. After the attack, the Hacker transferred all stolen assets, exchanged the stolen USDC for DAI, and moved them to two new Wallets, where the funds are still held: the Hacker also transferred 3.11 million USD worth of MSYRUPUSDP to another new Wallet.
