Threat Score
KelpDAO suffered a ~$290M theft after attackers compromised the cross-chain verification layer (DVN) by poisoning RPC nodes and DDoS-ing healthy nodes, allowing forged cross-chain messages to transfer ~116,500 rsETH through Tornado Cash. LayerZero attributes the complex operation to DPRK-linked Lazarus Group (TraderTraitor), and the incident impacted rsETH and prompted protocol freezes but appears isolated from broader contagion.
