Actually curious, not trolling,」 Hayes wrote on X.Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet drew a direct comparison to the $1.4 billion Bybit hack of 2025, which the FBI attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The pattern is nearly identical: compromised multi sig signers, social engineering, and malicious transactions disguised as routine operations.The Lazarus PlaybookThe hacker spent weeks setting up the attack. They created a fake token called CarbonVote Token, seeded it with $500 in liquidity, and wash-traded it to fool Solana price oracles into treating it as legitimate. On April 1, they used compromised admin keys to list the token on Drift, posted it as collateral, and drained real assets in 31 transactions over roughly 12 minutes.Elliptic’s report noted the attack’s pre-positioned wallets, early test transactions, and structured laundering flow all mirror previous Lazarus operations. The firm said this would represent the eighteenth DPRK-linked act it has tracked in 2026, with over $300 million stolen this year alone.North Korean hackers reportedly stole a record $2 billion in crypto in 2025, according to Chainalysis. The U.S. Treasury has linked stolen crypto assets to Pyongyang’s weapons of mass destruction program.Circle Sat On Its HandsCircle had frozen 16 unrelated business hot wallets just days earlier in a sealed civil case. ZachXBT called the contrast evidence that Circle is a bad actor for the industry.Benzinga reached out to Circle for comment. Circle is down 2% today, and 13% year to date. Drift’s TVL collapsed from $550 million to under $300 million within the hour. The DRIFT token crashed over 40%. SOL fell 9% to an intraday low near $78.60. Solana Foundation President Lily Liu said the incident 「hits hard」 but stressed the real targets are now 「humans: social engineering and opsec weaknesses more than code exploits.」Image: ShutterstockMarket News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2026 Benzinga.com.
