Drift protocol (DRIFT)

Drift's hacking incident starkly brings a Korean spy thriller into reality. This Drift hack is truly a textbook example of social engineering… True spy infiltration warfare It lay dormant for six months before launching the attack… The core verifier of Drift met the counterpart face‑to‑face at a crypto conference in the fall of 2025 (probably Token2049 in Singapore or KBW). The counterpart approached Drift as a professional quantitative institution, wanting to deploy a strategy on the platform; note that they did not have a North‑South Korean appearance, but truly possessed deep quantitative expertise, engaging in months of “substantial” technical progress with the Drift team. Moreover, to gain trust, the attackers actually deposited $1 million (the saying “you can’t catch the wolf without a child” – i.e., they were willing to risk big money) to run the strategy, and then met again with Drift team members in February–March 2026. Thus, the cooperation lasted six months—from the initial face‑to‑face meeting, to online discussions, business advancement, technical integration, moving the business onto track, voluntarily depositing $1 million, and meeting offline again… If it were you, and your “partner” suddenly said, “Hey, I’ve developed a new strategy vault, want to try it? Would you blindly download it to test?” Faced with this level of infiltration and social engineering—how many people can resist? Through such technical exchanges and real‑business communication they earned trust, then poured real money—and launched the attack—resembling a scene from a Korean espionage movie. Later, security experts traced the fund flow and identified a DPRK (North Korean) hacking organization. Note: although it’s called a North Korean hacking group, the people who contacted us (the BD side) were not North Koreans… (scary, right?) They were intermediaries controlled by the North Korean organization. A North Korean hacking organization is an organization, not a group defined by nationality. stay safe trust but verify

@DriftProtocol I’m sorry but if you can lose 250 million because 2 people clicked a link the responsibility falls on drift. I’m a Brokie and even my cold storage wallets are isolated. The fault is poor security practices.
