Weekly Report (Nov-07).
Rubic, the multi-chain exchange protocol, was exploited due to malware that stole the private key following the disclosure of an administrator's wallet address, which controls the RBC/BRBC cross-chain bridge and staking rewards. The attacker sold approximately $ 303,758 worth of RBC/BRBC on Uniswap and PancakeSwap. The team said that the user's staking funds were secure and none of their smart contracts had been compromised.
Deribit, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, suffered a loss of approximately $28 million due to an exploit involving a compromised hot wallet. The breach was isolated and quarantined to their BTC, ETH, and USDC hot wallets, resulting in the loss of 6,967.65 ETH, 691 BTC, and approximately 3.41 million USDC, with the hacker exchanging USDC for 2,143.95 ETH. After the event, they began conducting security checks, halting withdrawals from Copper Clearloop and Cobo, among other third-party custodians. The team reported that no client assets, fireblocks, or cold storage addresses were compromised. The customer's funds will remain secure, and losses will be covered by the company's reserves.
