<p>Radiant Capital, a decentralized lending platform, recently suffered a massive hack, losing approximately $58 million. The breach occurred after private keys controlling the multisig wallet were compromised, as revealed by Revoke.cash on X (formerly Twitter). De.Fi Antivirus, a cybersecurity firm, <a href="https://x.com/De_FiSecurity/status/1846624940440572405" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">confirmed</a> the attack, noting that hackers exploited the “transferFrom” function to drain funds across Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Arbitrum.</p>

<p>Consequently, millions in assets like USDC, WBNB, and ETH were stolen. Ancilia Inc. supported De.Fi's findings, estimated losses at $50 million. Radiant Capital has <a href="https://x.com/RDNTCapital/status/1846634050100039881" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">paused</a> markets on Base and Mainnet while working with cybersecurity partners like SEAL911 and <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/chainalysis-wins-80-million-lawsuit-as-manhattan-supreme-court-dismisses-claims-major-win-for-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chainalysis to assess the damage</a>.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>Radiant's core lending services, which allow users to borrow, lend, and bridge cryptocurrencies, have taken a massive hit. The platform faced a similar breach earlier this year, losing $4.5 million due to a smart contract bug.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-multisig-vulnerabilities-exposed">Multisig Vulnerabilities Exposed</h2>  
<p>Multisigs, a popular Web3 security method, are under fire. Many experts, including EigenLayer's founder Sreeram Kannan, have raised concerns about the centralized vulnerabilities of multisigs. Although they offer some protection, attackers exploited Radiant’s system by obtaining the private keys of three signers. This allowed them to hijack smart contracts and steal user funds.</p>
