At least a dozen crypto entities attacked since Drift Protocol hack

At least 12 DeFi protocols and crypto businesses have been attacked in just over two weeks since the $280 million Drift Protocol exploit on April 1.

Attacks aimed at crypto protocols or companies since the start of April include CoW Swap, Hyperbridge, Bybit, Dango, Silo Finance, BSC TMM, Aethir, MONA, Zerion and, most recently, Rhea Finance and the Grinex exchange.

The Drift Protocol was hit with one of the largest exploits this year on April 1, losing around $280 million in a long-running social engineering attack suspected to involve North Korean-affiliated actors.

The attacks also come amid growing concerns this month that advancing AI models, such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and equivalent models, could eventually make it even easier for cyberattackers in the future.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used one of his most confrontational videos in recent memory to argue that Bitcoin’s long-running resistance to structural change has left it exposed to the quantum computing threat now surfacing in debate around BIP 361. His core claim was blunt: Bitcoin’s governance culture, not just its cryptography, is now the problem.

In the livestream, titled “BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin,” Hoskinson framed the proposal as an overdue admission from parts of the Bitcoin world that quantum risk is no longer theoretical. The Cardano founder pointed to language in the proposal stating that, as of March 1, 2026, more than 34% of all Bitcoin had revealed public keys on-chain, leaving those UTXOs vulnerable to theft by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. In his telling, that amounts to roughly 8 million BTC exposed to a future break in Bitcoin’s current signature assumptions.

BIP-361 proposes freezing every bitcoin that doesn’t migrate to a quantum-safe address within five years of activation. If you’re incapacitated, in prison, or simply unaware of the deadline, your coins aren’t stolen. They’re frozen by consensus.

The justification: 34% of all... pic.twitter.com/4ValsZTdQD

Cardano Founder Attacks Bitcoin Developer Community
Hoskinson’s attack centered on two related claims. First, he argued that the response implied by BIP 361 would require a hard fork, even if described otherwise. Second, he said any forced migration to post-quantum addresses would create a deeper problem for coins held in older wallet formats that cannot be recovered through the kind of proof system he says the proposal imagines.

“There is some truth in here,” Hoskinson said. “As of March 1st, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin have revealed public key on chain... those UTXOs c

Pepe coin, the frog-themed meme cryptocurrency jumped over 8% during Thursday’s U.S. market hours to hit $0.000004 high. This upswing follows the broader recovery in the meme coin market as capital rotates to higher-risk assets, supported by stable market sentiment. However, a stagnant trend in $PEPE’s open interest indicator suggests a lack of speculative force in the market. Can $PEPE price manage to reclaim the $0.000005 barrier?

NEAR Protocol’s largest Decentralized Finance (DeFi) hub, Rhea Finance, suffered a $7.6 million exploit after an attacker manipulated its oracle and validation layer. Blockchain security firm CertiK flagged the incident, confirming that assets were drained across multiple tokens. How the Rhea Finance Exploit Unfolded The attacker deployed fake token contracts and created fresh liquidity pools on the protocol. These pools likely distorted price feeds, misleading the oracle into validating fraudulent transactions. According to CertiK, at least $7.6 million was extracted from Rhea Finance. Stolen funds included USDC, USDT, Zcash (ZEC), and NEAR (NEAR). Vadim Zacodil, an ex-NEAR core contributor, confirmed the figures and warned users to monitor the situation closely. Withdrawals are currently halted as the team works to contain further damage. “The attacker created fake token contracts and added liquidity in fresh pools, likely misleading the oracle and validation layer,” CertiK noted. Why This Matters for NEAR DeFi Rhea Finance holds a dominant position in the NEAR ecosystem. Formed in early 2025 through the merger of Ref Finance and Burrow Finance, it serves as the primary DEX and lending layer on the network. Rhea Finance on Near Protocol. Source: DefiLlama The protocol previously held over 95% of NEAR’s DeFi total value locked, making this exploit significant for the entire chain’s DeFi infrastructure. Oracle manipulation remains one of the most persistent vulnerabilities in DeFi, with attackers repeatedly exploiting untested price feeds and thin liquidity. The coming days will reveal the full scope of losses and whether Rhea Finance can secure affected user funds.

At one point, I believed that trading success depended on being active all the time. I thought I needed to always be doing something to see results. But I later learned that patience and timing are far more important. Waiting for the right opportunity made my decisions more effective and less stressful.
