 <p>Radiant also suspended the lending and borrowing markets on Arbitrum and assured investors that no additional funds were currently at risk. They promised to conduct a detailed autopsy and restore normal operations once the investigation is completed.</p>
 <p>The Radiant Capital hack was not the first case of attack by cybercriminals since the beginning of the year. Previously, scammers hacked the Orbit Chain protocol worth $81.5 million.</p>
 <p>According to the project team, stolen cryptocurrency “remains untouchable” at the addresses where they were discovered. They are now conducting a&nbsp;detailed <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Category Analysis" href="https://thebittimes.com/analysis.html">Analysis</a> to determine the root cause of the hack and liaising with international law enforcement agencies.</p>
