Last week, Drift Protocol — a Solana-based DeFi trading platform — was exploited for approximately $270 million. The attacker used a legitimate Solana feature called "durable nonces" to trick multisig council members into pre-approving transactions that were executed days later.
This was social engineering, not a blockchain vulnerability. No code bug was exploited, and no private keys were stolen.
This incident highlights the risks inherent in DeFi multisig governance, particularly around transaction pre-signing. SDA's infrastructure operates through regulated centralized exchanges — a fundamentally different security model.
As always — stay alert, verify before you sign, and never approve transactions you don't fully understand.
