Reports of a ~$280–285M exploit of Solana DEX Drift Protocol by actors linked to North Korea (UNC4736). Attack vector: months-long social engineering, fake identities, in-person event contact, and compromised developer tools (VSCode/Cursor/Mowers). Documents mention multisig/transaction-intent vulnerabilities and call for pre-transaction validation at the blockchain level.

Hack ao Drift Protocol: engenharia social exposta Você sabia que um hack de US$280M começou com conversas em eventos? 😱 • O que aconteceu: - Hack ao Drift Protocol de ~280 milhões (detalhes novos revelados) • Como fizeram: - Meses de engenharia social direcionada aos desenvolvedores - Aproximação em eventos de criptomoedas: ganharam confiança pessoalmente - Conseguiram que os desenvolvedores instalassem os Mowers (vetor de ataque) • Por que importa: - Mostra como ataques sofisticados não são só código: são relacionamentos e confiança explorados - Segurança de projetos crypto depende também de protocolos humanos e presença em eventos Quer entender mais sobre vulnerabilidades em projetos DeFi e como se proteger? 👇 ❤️ Curtiu esse resumo?

Сэмсон Моу: Поспешное внедрение квантовой защиты BTC опасно Сэмсон Моу, основатель Jan3, предостерег от ускоренного внедрения постквантовой криптографии в Bitcoin. По его мнению, преждевременные меры могут создать уязвимости в текущей архитектуре сети. Основная проблема — значительное увеличение размера PQ-подписей (в 10–125 раз), что приведет к снижению пропускной способности и росту нагрузки на узлы. Моу считает, что это может спровоцировать новые «войны за размер блока» и привести к централизации сети. Эксперт призывает к хладнокровию, полагая, что реально взломать SHA-256 квантовыми компьютерами удастся не ранее чем через 10–20 лет. Эволюция протокола должна быть постепенной, чтобы избежать дестабилизации крупнейшего цифрового актива. https://cryptovka.ru/news/semson-mou-predupredil-o-riskah-pospeshnogo-vnedreniya-kvantovoy-zaschity-btc
Linea-based DeFi project Denaria has announced a smart contract exploit that resulted in losses of approximately $165,000. The team is collaborating with the Linea team and auditing firms to investigate the incident, with a full post-mortem report to be released later. As a precautionary measure, Denaria has temporarily suspended all user interface access. The project is developing a refund process for users with open positions or USDC held in vaults at the time of the attack. #crypto #blockchain #news

Drift Protocol Loses $285M in North Korean-Linked Hack Solana-based DEX Drift Protocol reported a $285 million loss due to a six-month intelligence operation by North Korean threat actors. The group, identified as UNC4736 (AppleJeus/Citrine Sleet), used social engineering, fake identities, and compromised developer tools like VSCode/Cursor to infiltrate the protocol. This exploit highlights systemic vulnerabilities in DeFi security, particularly concerning multisig wallets and transaction intent. Experts warn that crypto teams now face adversaries akin to intelligence units, necessitating pre-transaction validation at the blockchain level for future defenses. https://cryptovka.com/news/drift-protocol-exploit-north-korean-hackers-linked-to-285m-theft
