ME News message, April 6 (UTC+8). Lawyer Ariel Givner said that the $280 million attack on the Solana-based DeFi platform Drift Protocol could have been prevented through standard operational security procedures, and the conduct may constitute civil negligence. Because the Drift team failed to follow basic security procedures—including not storing signing keys in physically isolated systems and lacking due diligence regarding blockchain developers at industry conferences—this was allegedly the case.

The Drift team posted on the X platform that the attacker planned the operation for 6 months, initially contacting the team at a major crypto industry conference in October 2025. After building trust, the malicious actors hijacked developers’ devices through malicious links and implanted malware. Drift confirmed with medium-to-high confidence that the attackers are the same group responsible for the October 2024 Radiant Capital attack. A notice/promotional materials for a class-action lawsuit against Drift Protocol has already begun circulating.
