#DriftInvestigation Links Recent Attack To #NorthKoreanHackers
🚨💸 $285M Drift Hack — North Korea Link Confirmed 💸🚨
A major investigation into the April 2026 hack of #solana -based $DRIFT Protocol has traced the $285M exploit to North Korea’s infamous #LazarusGroup . Security firms like TRM Labs and Elliptic revealed this wasn’t a quick attack—it was a 6-month social engineering operation where hackers posed as a trading firm to gain insider trust.
Once inside, they compromised multisig signers and used advanced techniques to seize control of admin keys, draining funds and quickly laundering them through @Ethereum mixers—similar to past major exploits.
This highlights a growing trend: state-backed, highly sophisticated attacks on #Defi reinforcing the urgent need for stronger security as the space scales. ⚠️
