On April 1, 2026, Drift Protocol suffered an approximate $285M exploit attributed to a North Korea-linked actor; Tether pledged up to $127.5M to help restore user balances and the protocol will relaunch using USDT instead of USDC while implementing independent audits, enhanced security controls, and a community-governed multisig to manage assets.
