# THORChain Launches Recovery Portal After $10M Exploit

THORChain has confirmed a $10 million exploit and launched a recovery portal for affected users. The portal allows users to revoke malicious approvals and claim refunds across four blockchain networks.

THORChain, a decentralized liquidity protocol, has confirmed a $10 million exploit and has taken steps to mitigate the damage. The team has launched a recovery portal to help affected users across four blockchain networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base.

The recovery portal allows users to revoke malicious approvals and claim refunds for lost funds. According to the official announcement, the portal is designed to be user-friendly, guiding users through the process of securing their assets and recovering any losses incurred during the exploit.

This incident highlights the importance of security in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. For everyday users, it serves as a reminder to regularly review and revoke unnecessary smart contract approvals to minimize exposure to such exploits.

Users affected by the exploit are encouraged to visit the recovery portal as soon as possible. The THORChain team has emphasized the importance of timely action to ensure the safety of users' funds. For those who are unsure about the process, the portal provides detailed instructions and support to assist in the recovery process.
