So Orange Finance, a popular DeFi liquidity management platform on Arbitrum was hacked last week. The post-mortem indicates a high level of nonchalance. So your private keys were leaked and the multi-sig wallet wasn't configured properly?.. Righto. The image attached is a screenshot from the incident post-mortem which I link to below. https://lnkd.in/gQ-5CeqG I'm normally a glass-half-full type of person and I don't want my first post of 2025 to be a negative one but this was just extraordinary to me... I will be covering this and other big (interesting) crypto stories of the last week in the Brave New Coin Kickstart newsletter which is released every Monday night NZ time. I promise there's lots of positive content in there too 😅
