Radiant Capital protocol faced a hacking incident in which the hacker successfully drained $4.5 million from the protocol.

Radiant Capital is a Crypto DeFi protocol which allows people to earn interest and borrow assets across various blockchains.

Recently the Radiant Capital team activated a new market on the Arbitrum network but a hacker took advantage of the time window for activating (nearly 6 seconds) new markets and drained 1,900 ETH worth $4.5 million at the current trade price of ETH.

Following this hacking incident the Radiant Capital team suspended lending & borrowing services on the Arbitrum network and also confirmed that no current funds are at risk.

The services will be resumed on Arbitrum after the completion of the investigation behind this incident.

As a reminder, no action can be taken until the markets are unpaused on Arbitrum. A detailed postmortem will be released once the issue is fully resolved, and normal operations on the protocol on Arbitrum once the investigation is complete.

Earlier this we reported that Orbit chain suffered a security breach and a hacker drained nearly $81.6 million worth of funds from the protocol.

The Orbit chain successfully secured investigation support from the Korean National Police Agency and KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency) to investigate the hacking incident & catch the main culprit behind this incident.

All the investigators found some significant information related to the stolen funds by the hacker and there is a huge possibility that investigators will catch him sooner or later.
