Okay, here is the rewritten content, humanized and with improved flow while keeping all HTML tags and original meaning:

<div data-td-block-uid="tdi_96">
<div class="tdb-block-inner td-fix-index"><p>Heads up from the ZKsync team!  They've just confirmed a security breach affecting their Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, ZK.  It seems there was unauthorized access that led to a transfer of around $5 million worth of ZK tokens.  The team explained that this happened because an administrator account was compromised, giving access to unclaimed tokens from the recent ZKsync airdrop.</p>
<p>The ZKsync security team released an official statement to clarify that the incident was contained to the ZK Token airdrop contract. Importantly, they emphasized that the core ZKsync protocol and the main ZK token contract itself were not affected.</p>

<p>“Good news – all user funds are safe and have never been at risk,” the team stated clearly, adding, “The ZKsync protocol and ZK token contract remain secure, and no other ZK tokens are at risk.”</p>
<p>The team is actively investigating the incident and have already put in place necessary security measures to prevent any further unauthorized access. They plan to share a more detailed update later today with further information.</p>

<p>ZKsync developers believe this was an isolated incident caused by a compromised key, rather than an issue with the broader ZKsync system itself. They are treating it as a contained event.</p>
<p>Shortly after this news broke, the ZK price experienced a sudden drop on Binance.</p>
