Drift links $280M hack to radiant attackers

Drift Protocol reported that the April 1 attack on its platform was the result of a long and organized campaign that involved building trust with contributors over six months. The attackers used malicious tools and links to breach contributor devices, with the exchange linking the exploit to the same actors behind the October 2024 Radiant Capital hack. Drift warned that in-person meetings at crypto events can make firms vulnerable to such attacks. The exchange is now collaborating with law enforcement and industry participants to investigate the incident further.
