[Empowa Faces Unauthorized Transfer Incident, Approximately 4.24 Million EMP and 143,710 ADA Stolen] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on September 11, the Cardano ecosystem project Empowa disclosed two interrelated unauthorized asset transfer incidents involving three project wallets. Between November 2025 and June 2026, approximately 143,710 ADA was transferred out in 18 transactions from one project treasury wallet. The Midnight airdrop associated with this wallet was also registered and claimed by an unknown individual using a private key, with around 36,000 NIGHT already transferred out. From June to August 2026, approximately 4.24 million EMP was transferred out from two other project wallets, some of which have been sold through platforms such as Minswap and VyFi. Empowa stated that the funds from both incidents ultimately flowed into the same intermediary wallet, leading to the conclusion that they were controlled by the same party. However, the identity of the individual operating these private keys remains unknown. The project team has hired a professional blockchain investigation agency and plans to seek KYC information from the centralized exchanges where the stolen funds were ultimately deposited.
