How Did Hackers Steal the Arbitrum Money?

The hackers gained control of the admin account. This allowed them to change the system, called contracts, and take the funds too. The Orange Finance team said they no longer control the platform. Right now, they don’t know all the details about how the attack happened. This hack caused big problems because Orange Finance was trusted by many people. Users were told to stay away from the platform and cancel permissions that could give hackers access to more money.

What Is Orange Finance Doing?

The team used blockchain tools to send a message to the hacker. They asked the hacker to return the stolen money within 24 hours and promised not to call the police or involve law enforcement if the hacker returned the funds. This is called a “white-hat” deal. It gives hackers as much as of a chance to fix their actions without facing serious punishment. Orange Finance hopes this will work.

What Happened to the Arbitrum Stolen Money?

A group called Cyvers Alert tracks blockchain activity. They said the hacker had already changed the stolen money into Ethereum (ETH), another kind of cryptocurrency. Surely, this can make it harder to track and recover the stolen money.

How Can Users Stay Safe?

Orange Finance told users to cancel any permissions linked to their accounts. furthermore, these permissions might let hackers take more funds. Canceling them can help keep your money safe. Equally important is to check your crypto accounts often. If you don’t need permission anymore, it’s a good idea to cancel it.

Before the hack, Orange Finance was the largest liquidity manager on Arbitrum. It managed over $1.5 million. The attack is a big loss for the platform and its users, per data from DefiLlama.
