🚨 Major Exploit: Drift Protocol lost ~$280M due to a sophisticated "durable nonce" attack. Attacker gained admin control of the Security Committee, enabling delayed execution of pre-signed transactions & fund extraction.
No protocol/smart contract bugs, no compromised seed phrases. Possibilities: unauthorized/forged transaction approvals or social engineering.
Affected: Lending, treasury, trading capital. Unaffected: Assets not deposited in Drift, DSOL, staked assets, insurance fund.
Drift has frozen functionalities & updated multi-sig controls. Investigation ongoing.
