<h4><strong>This latest breach highlights the growing risks in the world of crypto, where hackers continue to make headlines.</strong></h4> 
<p>On September 16th, Delta Prime experienced a major security breach. Let’s explore more about this crypto hack.</p> 
<h5><strong>Impact and Future Risks for Delta Prime</strong></h5> 
<p>Initially, the hackers stole about $4.5 million worth of <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=stablecoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stablecoins</a>. Stablecoins are digital money designed to keep their value steady, like the US dollar. The stolen coins were quickly swapped for Ethereum (ETH), another type of digital currency.</p> 
<p>Cyvers, a company that monitors online security, was the first to report the attack. They mentioned that a “suspicious address” had converted the stolen USDC (a type of stablecoin) into ETH. They also warned that the total loss could grow because the attackers were still draining funds from Delta Prime.</p>

 <p>It seems that admin has lost the private key. Suspicious address still draining the pools! Affected pools so far are the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DPUSDC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DPUSDC</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DPARB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DPARB</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DPBTCb?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DPBTCb</a> !… <a href="https://t.co/8sXanAaCwe">pic.twitter.com/8sXanAaCwe</a></p>

<p>Later, Chaofan Shou, co-founder of Fuzzland, confirmed that the amount stolen had risen to nearly $6 million. This makes it one of the bigger crypto hacks of the year.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Delta Prime <a href="https://twitter.com/DeltaPrimeDefi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DeltaPrimeDefi</a> admin private key leaked. All pools are drained. $7M loss already.

<h5><strong>Why Did This Happen?</strong></h5> 
<p>Experts believe the attack was made possible through a “private key exploit.” This means that the hackers somehow got hold of a secret key used to access Delta Prime’s funds. Meir Dolev, CTO of Cyvers, explained that this kind of exploit can be serious, as it gives hackers access to valuable digital assets.</p> 
<p>This breach is a major event, but it’s not the first of its kind. Nearly two months ago, a <a href="https://x.com/CyversAlerts/status/1813834131165286464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hacker stole</a> over $230 million from WazirX, an Indian cryptocurrency exchange. That theft was one of the largest in 2024 so far, showing that big losses are not uncommon in the crypto world.</p>
