Gate News update, April 6, lawyer Ariel Givner said that the $280 million attack against the Solana-based DeFi platform Drift Protocol could have been prevented through standard operating security procedures, and the conduct may constitute civil negligence. Givner noted that the Drift team failed to follow basic security procedures, including not storing signing keys in a physically isolated system and lacking due diligence regarding blockchain developers at industry conferences. The Drift team disclosed on the X platform that the attacker planned the operation for 6 months, initially contacting team members in October 2025 at a major crypto industry conference. After gaining trust, the malicious actor hijacked developers’ devices through malicious links and implanted trojans. Drift has confirmed with medium-to-high confidence that the attackers are the same group as the October 2024 Radiant Capital attack incident. At present, a class-action lawsuit announcement against the Drift Protocol has begun circulating.
