Threat Score
Two large 2026 cryptocurrency heists — Drift Protocol (~$285M) and KelpDAO (~$292M) — attributed to North Korean state-backed actors, used a blend of prolonged social engineering, manipulation of transaction authorization, and compromise of cross-chain verification to enable rapid, high-value thefts; the incidents highlight exploitation of single points of failure in governance and bridge architectures and the use of decentralized cross-chain infrastructure for moving and laundering stolen funds.
