<p><a href="https://coincu.com/175649-radiant-capital-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Radiant Capital</a> identified a DPRK-linked actor as the source of its $50M hack. The attack began when a developer was contacted by someone impersonating a trusted former contractor. The hacker shared a zip file under the pretense of seeking project feedback, which contained sophisticated malware that breached macOS systems.</p>  
<p>The malware created a backdoor, avoided detection by displaying legitimate PDFs, and even bypassed security tools like Tenderly. This breach allowed attackers to conduct malicious transactions while showing benign data during standard checks, leaving the team blindsided, according to <a href="https://decrypt.co/295545/radiant-capital-says-dprk-actor-posed-as-ex-contractor-to-pull-off-50-million-hack" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Decrypt</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="advanced-malware-techniques-used-in-radiant-capital-50m-hack">Advanced Malware Techniques Used in Radiant Capital $50M Hack</h2>  
<p>The DPRK actor’s malware exploited AppleScript to establish a covert communication channel, disguised under an innocent domain name. It bypassed critical web3 infrastructure security and simulated normal transactions, ensuring malicious actions remained hidden.</p>  
<p>Even with Radiant Capital’s best practices in place, the attackers compromised multiple devices. The incident underscores the growing sophistication of cyber threats in DeFi, necessitating enhanced security protocols across platforms.</p>
