North Korea ran a 6-month con. Drift lost $270M.
About this episode
North Korea didn't hack Drift. They infiltrated it. $270M gone after a 6-month inside job. BTC sits at $66,796, down -0.42%. The market shrugs. The security story does not.
Today's key developments:
• $270 million gone from Drift Protocol — and it wasn't a flash exploit. It was a six-month North Korean intelligence operation.
• Charles Schwab is opening a waitlist for direct Bitcoin and Ether spot trading, targeting a limited launch in Q2.
• Ant Group's blockchain arm just launched a platform letting AI agents transact on crypto rails using stablecoins — in real time.
