Radiant Capital Hacker executes profitable ETH swing trading
EmberCN, an analyst, tracked the Radiant Capital hacker who utilized stolen money as a trading tactic to earn profits. The hacker sold 9,631 ETH worth on average $4,562 with a profit of 43.937 million DAI alone last week. That was when Ethereum made local highs before the market correction.

The hacker had been waiting for ETH price pullback in the past few days before implementing the buyback strategy. With $8.64 million DAI in the last hour, they bought 2,109.5 ETH for $4,096 per token. It is a $466 price difference per ETH between buy and sell orders achieving massive arbitrage profits.
Current portfolio investments include 14,436 ETH tokens and 35.29 million DAI, with a total value of $94.63 million. The original October 2024 heist was worth around $53 million.
The trading plan is like that of experienced market makers, who short at resistance areas and long on support bounces. Volatility in the price of ETH during the range of $4,562 to $4,100 provided perfect conditions for swing trading gains.
October 2024 attack netted $53 million
The Radiant Capital attack occurred on 16 October 2024 and resulted in an estimated $53 to $58 million loss from user funds.
Hackers accessed Radiant’s multisignature wallet system, which was built around a 3-of-11 model requiring three of eleven signers to sign transactions. The hackers were able to steal three private keys, precisely hitting the threshold to access. They were able to update smart contracts and siphon funds from the protocol treasury.
Attack planning commenced weeks prior to deployment with buggy contracts rolled out on October 2, 2024. This 14-day attack planning gave attackers time to test systems and strategize extraction techniques. The timing indicates deliberate planning as opposed to opportunistic exploitation.
Cybersecurity firm Mandiant worked with Radiant Capital to investigate the attack and identify threat actors. The investigation revealed state-level sophistication in both attack methods and execution timing.

#XRP1B cilvēki neuzlabo savu dzīvi, jo apmierinās ar sīkumiem, viņiem jāpaliek nabagiem 😔😔 viņi nepatīk strādāt, grib visu ātri, neuzbūvē, tikai es un vēl 5 vai 7 cilvēki ierakstīja, pārējie tikai ienāca un skatījās!!!!!!
$MOVE Jautājums par šo monētu ir, vai kāds to iegādājās par cenu zem $0,20? Un kā? Es zinu, kad jauna monēta tiek iekļauta sarakstā, tā pirmajās 4 sekundēs strauji pieaug, tad kļūst ļoti svārstīga, tā turpina pieaugt dažas stundas un pēc tam koriģējas un pārvietojas uz priekšu un atpakaļ, vismaz līdz tam, kad nedaudz nokrīt, un monētas nākotnes vērtība paliek nenoteikta.
Jo pirkums par 60 centiem mani nepārsteidz (~+35%), tāpēc šie gandrīz 4000% ir kam? Kurš to nopirka par 0,02? Vai pat par 0,10, 0,20, 0,30?

Atjauninājums: Sasniegts $1,50, atgriešanās pie 1usd Tu nekad nevari zināt un nevar visu laiku to uzraudzīt. Tu vari iestatīt tp/sl, tomēr To var turēt ar piesardzību. Tirgus un šī konkrētā monēta ir svārstīga un neparedzama pirmajās stundās/dienās
No $0,60 līdz $1 / $1,50 tu vari sākt redzēt labus ieguvumus
Vienmēr atceries, nekad nejūties slikti par pārdošanu vai nepirkšanu, tev nav kristāla bumbas, un katra monēta ir noslēpums, pat ja tu pēti visas monētas, tikai mācies un kļūsti labāks.
