Blockchain security analysts at CertiK have also<a href="https://twitter.com/CertiKAlert/status/1855893120040497278?t=wigIOInDmyRgaJmRusK67g&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> confirmed</a> that the stolen funds are now held at a wallet address unlinked to the protocol.
The DeltaPrime team has<a href="https://x.com/DeltaPrimeDefi/status/1855899502944903195?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1855899502944903195%7Ctwgr%5E830b646a24567a6b6aee30eaf70217cf9c74068a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcrypto.news%2Fdeltaprime-allegedly-suffers-second-attack-losing-over-4-7m%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> acknowledged</a> the incident and stated that the protocol’s operation has been paused on both networks. They stated that they would provide more updates as they investigate the issue, but the “risk is contained.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 DeltaPrime was just exploited on Avalanche and Arbitrum for a total of (initial estimate) $4.75mm.
 With the protocol being paused on both chains, the risk is contained. We will provide updates asap.

This marks the second major hack against DeltaPrime this year. In September, the<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/09/deltaprime-suffers-5-93m-crypto-loss-in-suspected-private-key-leak/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> protocol lost $6 million</a> in a separate attack after weak private key security allowed hackers to take control of a vulnerable contract.
DeltaPrime<a href="https://docs.deltaprime.io/protocol/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> operates</a> as a trustless lending protocol on Avalanche and Arbitrum, where users can deposit assets like $AVAX or $ARB into liquidity pools for others to borrow. While designed to facilitate decentralized lending, the platform’s repeated security breaches have raised concerns about the security of DeFi protocols.
The recent hack on DeltaPrime is part of a broader wave of security breaches impacting the DeFi space. In Q3 2024 alone,<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/10/crypto-platforms-report-120m-in-losses-from-over-20-hacks-in-september/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> DeFi protocols reportedly recorded losses totalling $413 million</a> due to hacks and exploits. Notable ones include $27 million from Penpie, $5.6 million from Truflation, $2 million from Bedrock, and the earlier $5.9 million loss by DeltaPrime. Singapore-based exchange BingX also<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/09/bingx-faces-major-security-breach-withdrawals-paused-as-hackers-steal-over-40-million/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> faced</a> a suspected hot wallet breach that resulted in a $43 million loss in the same month, according to PeckShield. The industry continues to grapple with vulnerabilities, as shown by these high-profile incidents.
Further adding to industry concerns, another recent incident occurred on Base, a Layer 2 blockchain. A<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/10/base-blockchain-hit-by-1-million-exploit-amid-oracle-vulnerabilities/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> security breach involving manipulated Wrapped Ether (WETH) contracts</a> led to an approximate $1 million theft on October 25, according to another blockchain security platform, Cyvers Alerts.
