Show Notes

Elliptics report reveals the $285 million Drift Protocol hack, likely by North Koreas state-sponsored hackers, marking the biggest crypto exploit of the year. The hackers, using patterns similar to past DPRK operations, swiftly shifted funds across chains like Solana to Ethereum, making it challenging to trace without smart clustering tools. This incident could be the eighteenth North Korea-linked hit Elliptic has tracked in 2025, totaling over $300 million stolen to fund their weapons programs, according to US officials.
