North Korea's TraderTraitor subgroup hit Drift on April 1 and KelpDAO on April 18. One attack used a fake quant firm. The other poisoned bridge infrastructure. Different tactics, same wallet.
A pre-signed transaction feature designed for convenience became the entry point for the largest DeFi hack of 2026. Elliptic has flagged North Korean state actors. Circle faces fresh scrutiny.
A researcher says over 40 DeFi platforms have employed DPRK state-linked developers. Their seven years of blockchain experience is, as she notes, not a lie. The Drift Protocol exploit was not a code bug. It was a six-month intelligence operation conducted by a North Korean state-affiliated group that attended conferences, deposited real capital, and waited.
SDNY US Attorney Jay Clayton has pushed back against Roman Storm's attempt to use a 2026 Supreme Court copyright ruling as a defense against the two charges a jury deadlocked on last year. The case is a live contradiction: the same DOJ that issued a memo ending 'regulation by prosecution' on crypto platforms is now pursuing a retrial that could send a developer to prison for 40 years for writing open-source code.
North Korean group UNC4736 stole $270 million from Drift Protocol on April 1, converting part of it into USDC via Circle's own bridge. Circle's formal response clarifies when and why it can freeze assets — and calls for legislative action.
A 9-of-12 council vote moved 30,766 ETH tied to the KelpDAO exploit into a frozen wallet. It recovered funds, and it forced an uncomfortable question about what decentralization actually means on Layer 2.
Lazarus Group is the North Korean state-sponsored hacking operation responsible for the largest crypto thefts in history, from Ronin to Bybit.

Coinliva covers the hacks, the traced funds, and the security lessons for exchanges and protocols.
