Radiant Capital Hit by $50 Million Blockchain Exploit

A sophisticated cyberattack compromised Radiant's blockchain contracts, marking the second major breach this year.

  • Radiant Capital lost over $50 million due to an exploit involving its BNB Chain and Arbitrum instances.
  • Attackers gained control by obtaining private keys from Radiant's multisig wallet, allowing them to manipulate smart contracts.
  • Security firms identified the use of a 'transferFrom' function to drain assets like USDC, WBNB, and ETH from users' accounts.
  • Radiant Capital has paused operations on Base and Mainnet and advised users to revoke smart contract permissions.
  • This incident follows a previous $4.5 million loss in January from a different exploit on the Arbitrum network.
