O Flash Loan Attack For Altcoin: Transactions Paused!
Radiant Capital, the cross-chain lending protocol and behind altcoin RDNT, has paused lending and lending markets on Arbitrum after receiving reports of a $4.5 million exploit affecting one of the newly created USDC Coin (USDC) markets.
Radiant Capital receives report on altcoin USDC
"Today, we received a report of a problem with the newly created native USDC market on Arbitrum," Radiant said in a Jan. 3 post on X (formerly Twitter), adding that this post was later confirmed by Radiant's developers and the broader cybersecurity community Blockchain security firm Beosin described the exploit as a flash loan attack; The attacker exploited a "bug" in the codebase to "lead to a cumulative vulnerability bug." A Jan. 3 post on X said that this ultimately "allowed the attacker to make a profit through repeated deposits and withdrawals."
An earlier post from PeckShield on Jan. 2 also identified the issue as stemming from a "known yulama issue" in the existing Compound/Aave codebase. "The main reason for this is not new: Basically, it takes advantage of the time window in which a new market is activated in a lending market (forked from the popular Compound/Aave)," he added. According to data from block explorer Arbiscanner, the exploiter Arbitrum managed to withdraw a total of $4.5 million in Ether from the protocol.
Operations paused
Radiant has since paused the lending and lending markets on Arbitrum, assuring investors that no additional funds are currently at risk. He promised a detailed autopsy and promised to return to normal operations once the investigation was complete. "As a reminder, no trades can be made until the pause of markets on Arbitrum is lifted," Radiant added. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency community has already been flooded with fake Radiant Capital accounts posting phishing links that allegedly help users revoke consents.
