⚠️ JUST IN

Drift Protocol has revealed details about the $280M+ exploit, stating the attack was carefully prepared over a 6-month period.

According to their report, the attackers gained trust by attending crypto conferences in person, posing as a trading firm inside a Telegram group, and spending months building integrations. They reportedly invested over $1M before eventually distributing malicious tools, including a TestFlight link.

Right after the exploit occurred, all Telegram conversations and malicious software were completely erased.
