Drift Protocol announced on the X platform that its preliminary investigation into the April 1, 2026 attack indicates that the operation was orchestrated by the North Korean government-backed hacking group UNC4736 (also known as AppleJeus or Citrine Sleet). From the fall of 2025, this group engaged in face-to-face interactions with Drift contributors for six months, using methods such as sending intermediaries to crypto conferences and establishing fake quantitative trading companies, to induce them to download malicious code libraries or applications. Drift has currently frozen all protocol functions and removed compromised wallets from multi-signature systems. Mandiant has been invited to participate in an in-depth forensic investigation. The investigation confirms that the on-chain fund flows used to test the operation can be traced back to the Radiant Capital attackers in October 2024.

Greengage has highlighted a significant shift in the approach of public companies towards digital asset management. According to NS3.AI, while over 200 public companies held more than $115 billion in digital assets by early 2026, Greengage argues that merely accumulating these assets passively is no longer sufficient. The sector is increasingly moving towards strategies that include staking, generating income through trading, and deploying credit backed by stablecoin liquidity. This shift reflects a broader trend in the industry as companies seek more active and diversified methods to leverage their digital asset holdings.

Drift has released the latest findings on a recent attack, revealing that the same threat actor responsible for the October 2024 Radiant Capital hack carried out the operation. According to PANews, the on-chain fund flow and operational methods closely match those of the previous incident. Mandiant attributes the Radiant Capital hack to UNC4736, an organization linked to the North Korean government. Additionally, the attack was meticulously planned over six months. Starting in the fall of 2025, individuals posing as a 'quantitative trading company' approached Drift contributors at various international crypto conferences.

According to Odaily, a criminal investigation concerning the Federal Reserve is ongoing, examining whether current Chair Jerome Powell provided false statements to Congress regarding costly renovations at the Fed's headquarters. Despite the investigation, the nomination process for Warsh is advancing, potentially leading to a conflict with the Trump administration's parallel initiatives.
