DeFi Platform Hacked for $6 Million
Over $6 million in various tokens from wallets belonging to the on-chain DeFi platform, DeltaPrime, were drained earlier today (Monday 16 September) after an apparent private key leak. Web3 security experts on X have said that the exploit involved a hacker gaining control over an admin proxy, redirecting it to a malicious contract, and allowing the bad actors to drain over $6 million from DeltaPrime wallets.
Hack First Reported on Social Media
The DeltaPrime hack was first picked up by an X user named 'Chaofan Shou', the co-founder of Web3 Security Analyst firm, Fuzzland. Shou posted earlier today, warning that DeltaPrime's admin private keys were leaked and telling users to withdraw funds immediately. Initially, Shou claimed that $7 million had been drained before clarifying that it was actually over $6 million.
North Korea Lazarus Group Involvement Alleged
Notable crypto scam investigator ZachXBT has claimed that the DeltaPrime hack may have links to North Korea's Lazarus group. Zach commented on Chaofan Shou's post, saying he had reached out to 25+ Web3 projects that had unknowingly hired malicious IT workers with links to North Korea, and that DeltaPrime was one of those teams.
