From March to May 2023, three front-end development engineers, Liu, Zhang, and Dong, conspired to illegally obtain other people's digital wallet private keys, mnemonics and other data by implanting a "backdoor" in the iToken APP application package in advance, and uploaded them to the database of the pre-built VPS back-end server corresponding to the designated domain name, and then downloaded them to the local server. After identification, a total of 27,622 mnemonics and 10,203 private keys were illegally obtained (all deduplicated), and the above mnemonics and private keys successfully converted 19,487 digital wallet addresses (deduplicated). Liu was responsible for writing the request logic code; Zhang was responsible for building the VPS and database, and uploading the iToken Android terminal; Dong was responsible for purchasing domain names, encrypting user private keys, and uploading the iToken IOS terminal.

The investigation showed that the administrator address of the airdrop contract (0x8428…587D) was compromised, and the attacker called the sweepUnclaimed() function to illegally mint about 111 million ZK tokens from three airdrop contracts, accounting for about 0.45% of the total supply. The incident was limited to the airdrop distribution contract, and the ZKsync protocol and its token contracts, governance contracts, and authorized minters were not affected.

According to the official announcement of ZKsync, the security team discovered that an administrator account of the airdrop contract was leaked, and the attacker controlled and sold about 5 million US dollars of unclaimed ZK airdrop tokens. The incident was caused by the leakage of a single key, which did not affect the protocol itself and the ZK token contract, and user funds are always safe. The official investigation is underway and a detailed report will be released later.
