Radiant Capital published a review of the theft process, stating that they will identify the attackers and recover the stolen funds as soon as possible

ChainCatcher news, Radiant Capital's official social media post reviewed 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 (also known as Gnosis Safe) displayed legitimate transaction data, while the poisoned transactions were signed and executed in the background. This vulnerability occurred during a routine multi-signature emission adjustment process, which is conducted regularly to adapt to market conditions and utilization rates. DAO contributors strictly adhered to many industry standard operating procedures throughout the process. Each transaction was simulated on Tenderly to ensure accuracy and was individually reviewed by multiple developers at each signature stage. During these reviews, neither Tenderly nor the front-end checks in Safe showed any anomalies. To emphasize the importance of this, it was completely undetectable during the manual review of the Gnosis Safe UI and the Tenderly simulation of regular transactions, as confirmed by external security teams.Radiant Capital stated that it has been working closely with Seal911 and Hypernative and has implemented more robust multi-signature controls. The FBI and zeroShadow are fully aware of the violations and are actively working to freeze all stolen assets. The DAO is deeply disturbed by this attack and will continue to work tirelessly with relevant agencies to identify the attackers and recover the stolen funds as soon as possible.

Cointelegraph: A survey found that the "crypto voting group" in the U.S. election reached 26 million

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, a survey found that approximately 26 million American voters make up a "cryptocurrency voting bloc," who will prioritize support for cryptocurrency policies when deciding which candidate to vote for in the upcoming elections.According to a survey released by The Digital Chamber on October 17, among 1,004 respondents, one in seven (or 16%) indicated that cryptocurrency is "extremely" or "very" important in deciding who to vote for, and if a candidate supports cryptocurrency, they are "very" or "somewhat" likely to vote for that candidate. The respondents included both Democrats and Republicans, with at least 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans stating that a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency would positively influence their likelihood of voting for that candidate. The survey also found that two-fifths of Black voters consider a candidate's cryptocurrency policy an important criterion in deciding who to vote for, a proportion more than double that of White voters.Perianne Boring, founder and CEO of The Digital Chamber, stated that as experts predict an unusually fierce battle for the White House, the survey results should serve as a "wake-up call for policymakers." Boring said, "Given the expected narrow margin in key elections, this bipartisan cryptocurrency voting bloc could tip the balance. Voters are sending a clear message—they want sensible and balanced regulation that protects consumers without stifling innovation."
