According to BlockBeats, on October 18, Radiant Capital announced via social media that it experienced a highly complex security breach on October 16, resulting in a loss of $50 million. The attackers used advanced malware to exploit multiple developers' hardware wallets. During the breach, the front end of Safe{Wallet} (also known as Gnosis Safe) displayed legitimate transaction data, while the compromised transactions were signed and executed in the background. This vulnerability occurred during a routine multi-signature adjustment process, which is regularly conducted to adapt to market conditions and utilization rates. DAO contributors strictly adhered to numerous industry-standard operating procedures throughout the process. Each transaction was simulated on Tenderly to ensure accuracy and was independently reviewed by multiple developers at each signing stage. During these reviews, no anomalies were detected in the front-end checks of Tenderly and Safe. External security teams have confirmed that this compromise was undetectable during the manual review of the Gnosis Safe UI and the routine transaction simulations on Tenderly. Radiant Capital stated that it has been working closely with Seal911 and Hypernative and has implemented stronger multi-signature controls. The FBI and zeroShadow are fully aware of the breach and are actively working to freeze all stolen assets. The DAO is deeply affected by this attack and will continue to collaborate with relevant agencies to identify the attackers and recover the stolen funds as soon as possible.

Radiant Capital posted a review on the X platform, saying that the protocol experienced a highly complex security vulnerability on the 16th, resulting in a loss of $50 million. The attacker exploited multiple developers' hardware wallets through highly advanced malware injection. During the intrusion, the front end of Safe{Wallet} (aka Gnosis Safe) displayed legitimate transaction data, while the poisoned transactions were signed and executed in the background. This vulnerability occurred during the routine multi-signature emission adjustment process, which is carried out regularly to adapt to market conditions and utilization. DAO contributors strictly adhere to many industry standard operating procedures throughout the process. Each transaction was simulated on Tenderly to ensure accuracy and was reviewed individually by multiple developers at each signing stage. During these reviews, front-end checks in both Tenderly and Safe showed no anomalies. To emphasize the importance of this, this compromise was completely undetectable during manual review of the Gnosis Safe UI and the Tenderly simulation stage of regular transactions, which has been confirmed by external security teams. Radiant Capital said it has been working closely with Seal911 and Hypernative and has implemented stronger multi-signature controls. The FBI and zeroShadow are fully aware of the breach and are actively working to freeze all stolen assets. The DAO is deeply devastated by this attack and will continue to work tirelessly with the relevant agencies to identify the attacker and recover the stolen funds as quickly as possible.

According to Cointelegraph, a recent survey by The Digital Chamber has revealed that around 26 million United States voters consider pro-crypto policies a significant factor in their voting decisions for the upcoming election. The survey, released on October 17, found that one in seven respondents, or 16% of the 1,004 surveyed, deemed crypto as 'extremely' or 'very' important in deciding their vote. These respondents were more likely to support candidates with pro-crypto stances. The survey included both Democrats and Republicans, with 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans indicating that a candidate's stance on crypto would positively influence their likelihood of voting for them. Perianne Boring, founder and CEO of The Digital Chamber, emphasized that the results should serve as a 'wake-up call for policymakers,' especially given the anticipated tight race for the White House. Boring noted that voters are seeking 'smart, balanced regulation that protects consumers without stifling innovation.' The survey also highlighted that two in five Black voters considered a candidate's crypto policies important, a proportion more than double that of white voters. Additionally, a majority of respondents from both major parties believed that supporting the crypto industry should be at least a medium-level priority for the new president and Congress. Over 60% of respondents from both parties thought crypto should be a medium to high-level priority for the new US government, with a third of Democrats and a quarter of Republicans considering it a 'high' or 'very high' priority. In contrast, a Pew Research report last month indicated that 81% of respondents viewed economic policy as the top issue influencing their vote, with healthcare and Supreme Court appointments following. The report did not highlight crypto as an election issue among the 9,720 respondents. The survey also revealed a division between party supporters on key issues. Among Republican candidate Donald Trump's supporters, the leading concerns were the economy (93%), immigration (82%), and violent crime (76%). Meanwhile, Democrat candidate Kamala Harris's supporters prioritized healthcare (76%), Supreme Court appointments (73%), and the economy (68%). The 2024 US elections are scheduled for November 5.
