blockonomi.com Drift Protocol Loses $280M as Attacker Uses Durable Nonce Accounts to Seize Admin Control

TLDR: The attacker used durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions weeks before executing the $280M drain on Drift Protocol. No smart contract bug was involved — the breach relied on social engineering to obtain 2/5 multisig approvals in advance. Even after a Security Council migration on March 27, the attacker regained access to required signers [...] The post Drift Protocol Loses $280M as Attacker Uses Durable Nonce Accounts to Seize Admin Control appeared first on Blockonomi.

forklog.media Drift Protocol on Solana loses $280m

On April 1, the DeFi platform Drift Protocol on Solana was hacked. The attacker drained at least $280m. We are observing unusual activity on the protocol. We are currently investigating. Please do not deposit funds into the protocol while we investigate. This is not an April Fools joke. Proceed with caution until further notice. We’ll provide additional updates from this account.— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 1, 2026 “We are observing unusual activity and are currently investigating. Please do not deposit any funds into the platform. This is not an April Fools joke. Proceed with caution until further notice,” the team wrote. Timeline According to the developers, the hacker prepared the operation for several days. As early as March 23, they created four wallets with a delayed-transaction mechanism (durable nonces). Two were associated with members of Drift’s Security Council, and two were under the attacker’s control. Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers.This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved…— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 2, 2026 At least two of five signers approved transfers from these wallets. The developers suggested the attacker used sophisticated social-engineering techniques. A few days later, the project conducted a scheduled rotation of the Council. In response, on March 30 the hacker created a new wallet for the updated multisig. The attack took place on April 1. First, the Drift team carried out a legitimate test withdrawal from the insurance fund. About a minute later, the attacker activated two pre-signed transactions. One created and approved a malicious transfer of powers; the second executed it. Aftermath The attack affected all deposit types—lending, trading and vaults. DSOL tokens outside the Drift ecosystem and the Insurance Fund’s assets were untouched. For safety, the protocol froze remaining functions, updated the multisig and removed the compromised wallet. The project is currently working with cybersecurity specialists, cross-chain bridges, exchanges and law enforcement to trace and block the stolen funds. Among the stolen assets were wrapped versions of bitcoin, Jito tokens, the memecoin Fartcoin, other altcoins, as well as stablecoins pegged to the US dollar, euro and Japanese yen. After the theft the hacker distributed the funds across several wallets. Assets stolen in dollars:$5.3M USDS$60.4M USDC$5.65M USDT$430K JUP$540K USDY$590K ZBTC$680K EURC$1M BSOL$2.5M INF$2M MSOL$3.3M SYRUPUSDC$4.1M FARTCOIN$4.4M WBTC$3.6M JITOSOL$4.7M WETH$4.5M DSOL$11.3M CBBTC$155.6M JPL— Vladimir S. | Officer's Notes (@officer_secret) April 1, 2026 Following the incident, the protocol’s native coin DRIFT fell by almost 37%—from $0.07 to $0.04. Market capitalisation almost halved—from $41m to $25m. Source: CoinGecko. TVL for Drift remains around $245m. Source: DefiLlama. Users doubt the project’s prospects for recovery after the hack. The statistics hint at the same: major attacks are considered a “death sentence” for 80% of protocols. The Drift incident will rank among the industry’s largest.

Bybit was able to get a billion-dollar loan immediately after the hack because their yearly revenue justified such sums. Drift doesn’t make enough for any company or bank to comfortably issue a loan to plug a hole like this,” wrote a community member under the nickname Eddie. Backlash against Circle Participants in the crypto industry criticised the company behind USDC, Circle, for a slow response to the Drift hack. Delphi Digital co-founder Tommy Shaughnessy said the issuer did not promptly freeze funds linked to the attack. Circle not freezing the USDC is hilarious because we know it’s centralized but they’re like nah, we’ll let the money freely flow to North KoreaI like USDC since it’s a programmable stablecoin for all of DeFi and enables innovationBut we can freeze the money flowing to NK— Tommy (@Shaughnessy119) April 2, 2026 “Circle not freezing USDC looks absurd. Everyone knows the stablecoin is centralised, but the company seems not to impede the free flow of funds—even to North Korea,” he wrote. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT voiced a similar view. He stressed that the hacker moved hundreds of millions of dollars from Solana to Ethereum during US business hours and Circle did nothing to stop it. Circle was asleep while many millions of USDC was swapped via CCTP from Solana to Ethereum for hours from the 9 figure Drift hack during US hours. Value was moved and nothing was done yet again.Comes days after you froze 16+ business hot wallets incompetently which is still… pic.twitter.com/T0Xwg1HIfO— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) April 2, 2026 At the time of writing, the company had still taken no action. In late March, ZachXBT accused Circle of mistakenly freezing 16 wallets.

forklog.media Anthropic Accidentally Deletes Thousands of GitHub Repositories Amid Claude Code Leak

The AI startup Anthropic inadvertently deleted thousands of repositories on GitHub in an attempt to remove leaked source code of Claude Code from the internet, reports TechCrunch. The company confirmed the leak of part of its developer tool's code on March 31. “No confidential client data was exposed. The error occurred during the release packaging. It was caused by human error, not a hack. We are implementing measures to prevent this from happening again,” a company representative stated. The incident could weaken Anthropic's position, as competitors and third-party developers gained full access to the architecture of the popular product. The startup issued a request to GitHub to remove repositories under the US copyright law. Approximately 8,100 archives, including forks of the official Claude Code repository, were affected, causing discontent among impacted users. The head of the Claude Code division, Boris Cherny, acknowledged the mistake. Consequently, the company withdrew most of the takedown requests. “The repositories mentioned in the notice were part of a fork network related to our public Claude Code database. The removal affected more projects than intended. We have withdrawn notices for all but one repository, and GitHub has restored access to the affected forks,” an Anthropic representative reported. Project Based on Claude Code In light of the incident, enthusiasts launched an open project called OpenClaude, based on the leaked Anthropic code. The fork includes support for Anthropic's API and models compatible with the OpenAI interface. Users can integrate solutions from Google (via OpenRouter), Mistral, OpenAI, or free local models, including through Ollama. OpenClaude retains the original tools: web search, file reading and editing, screenshot analysis, session memory, and more. Additionally, a router has been added for automatically selecting a neural network based on task complexity. The deep reasoning mode presented in Claude Code does not function in OpenClaude. In March, Anthropic transformed Claude into an AI agent — the bot gained the ability to use a computer to perform tasks.

forklog.media Bitcoin Stagnation: Glassnode Highlights Lack of Catalyst

Bitcoin remains within the $60,000 to $70,000 range as spot demand shows early absorption and derivative positions are being reassessed, according to the weekly report from Glassnode. "Volatility is decreasing and positions are balancing, but without a clear catalyst, the market lacks the confidence needed for a sustainable breakthrough," analysts stated. One of the most persistent factors restraining growth is the significant volume of supply acquired at prices above $80,000, which is currently held at an unrealized loss. This group of investors, having endured more than six months of a bear market, faces two options: selling on any recovery to minimize losses or psychological capitulation as the downturn continues. A large cluster of wallets has now formed, having purchased bitcoin at prices ranging from $80,000 to $126,000. Clusters of BTC purchase price wallets. Source: Glassnode. "To address this issue, it will likely require either a significant price drop to attract new buyers or a prolonged period during which these coins transfer to more committed holders," experts noted. The indicator of the total number of coins in loss shows structural similarity to the conditions of the second quarter of 2022. The smoothed 30-day metric has exceeded the level of 8.4 million BTC. Total BTC in loss. Source: Glassnode. Simultaneously, realized losses of long-term holders are increasing, with the daily value rising to $200 million. Realized loss of long-term holders. Source: Glassnode. "The spot markets show early signs of stabilization: the 30-day moving average of the spot volume delta on Coinbase has slightly increased to the positive side in recent data," Glassnode emphasized. Nevertheless, the strength of the bears is reinforced by the increased interest in short positions in the derivatives market. The company believes that further buyer pressure will be needed for a more sustainable recovery. Back in late 2024, the gap between the spot and realized price of the leading cryptocurrency narrowed from 120% to the current 21%.
