Around 1.67 million EIGEN tokens belonging to an investor in the popular Ethereum-based EigenLayer project were stolen after the investor was tricked into transferring the tokens into the attacker's wallet. The thief then sold the tokens for around $3.1 million, although the tokens were notionally worth around $5.5 million. Some of the stolen funds were later frozen by centralized exchanges.
After the incident, some questioned why the tokens had been sent to an investor without a vesting contract, given they were supposed to be locked for a period of time to prevent sale.
