Drift Protocol Publishes Findings on $285 Million Hack, Cites Six-Month Coordinated Infiltration

Drift Protocol released the results of its investigation into a $285 million theft, saying the incident appears to stem from a coordinated, long-running infiltration campaign that lasted roughly six months. According to Drift, the attackers began in the fall of 2025, presenting themselves as a quantitative trading firm and repeatedly approaching team members at crypto conferences around the world. The group is said to have compromised devices by directing targets to links involving code repositories and Apple's TestFlight app. Drift added that the operation may be tied to a North Korea-linked hacking group previously associated with the 2024 Radiant Capital theft.
