Solana-based perpetuals DEX Drift Protocol was hit by a coordinated $285M exploit likely tied to the Radiant Capital hackers. The incident has prompted intense community scrutiny, probes into insider token movements, and an unusual readiness from Drift to negotiate directly with the alleged North Korean–linked attackers to recover stolen funds.

Drift Protocol was struck by an exploit of about $285 million on Solana, allegedly tied to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, following a coordinated compromise of its Security Council. Stolen assets were laundered across chains and partly converted to ETH, exposing Solana tracing gaps and drawing parallels to the Ronin hack.
