Orange Finance, one of the most utilized DeFi protocols on the Arbitrum blockchain, has been exploited for upwards of more than $840,000. The hacker attacked vulnerabilities in the smart contracts of the platform that compromised the admin address and then siphoned the funds.
According to the Cyvers Alerts, the stolen assets were immediately converted into ETH, which further complicates tracking or recovery. An investigation into the breach was taken up by the Orange Finance team, who have as of now kept under wraps full details of how it happened.

As a precaution, users are called upon to revoke approvals granted to the platform and abstain from any direct interaction with their compromised contracts. Orange Finance later confirmed that indeed the attacked smart contract is no longer within their control while assuring users that efforts are being directed to secure the system against possible further damage.
The team has also contacted the hacker through Arbiscan and offered him a deal to return the money. They said they would treat the breach as a white-hat hack and would not press charges against the hacker if he cooperated within 24 hours.
