Gate News announcement: On April 2, Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet posted that the attack method used in Drift Protocol’s recent exploit is similar to a 2025 CEX hacking incident that is widely believed to involve North Korean-related hackers. He said the attack did not directly target smart contracts; instead, it gained access to multi-signature signers’ devices over the long term, tricking them into approving malicious transactions. The signers may have carried out authorization actions without knowing it. Guillemet believes the incident shows that the main security issues stem from people and operational processes rather than code-level flaws.
