What happened
Hector Network's compensation contract for token holders was exploited when a malicious account deposited only 0.0001 HEC and then transferred $2.7M worth of assets to itself. The vulnerable AddEligibleWallet function allowed the attacker to designate arbitrary addresses as eligible and drain the treasury via mintWithdraw and transferRedemption functions.
