DeltaPrime Security- Details of the Breach
DeltaPrime Security– On Monday morning, DeltaPrime, an on-chain brokerage, experienced a major security breach resulting in over $6 million worth of tokens being drained from its wallets. Security researchers on X attribute the breach to a private key leak.
Impact on Arbitrum Blockchain
The exploit specifically affected DeltaPrime’s operations on the Arbitrum blockchain. As of the European morning hours, users were unable to withdraw their funds on Arbitrum due to the platform’s borrowing and lending mechanics.
Hacker’s Actions
The attacker took control of the admin proxy at address 0xx40e4ff9e018462ce71fa34abdfa27b8c5e2b1afb and redirected it to a malicious contract at 0xD4CA224a176A59ed1a346FA86C3e921e01659E73. This malicious contract compromised the proxy, which is essential for interacting with users and other contracts.
