🚨 Crazy story!! How did the $280 million Drift protocol hack happened? Drift Protocol says its April 1 hack was a 6-month trust-building operation. Attackers posed as a quant trading firm, met Drift contributors at major crypto conferences, stayed in touch for months, and even deposited $1M+ to look legitimate. Then they used that trust to strike: - Got one contributor to clone a “shared” code repo - Got another to install a TestFlight app pitched as a wallet product This wasn’t a quick exploit. It was a long con. Security reminder: - Test unknown apps/tools only on isolated devices - Never clone repos or open links on machines connected to multisig ops Stay alert. Stay paranoid.(Crypto India)
