DPRK threat to Ripple via Crypto ISAC after $577M DeFi hacks

Ripple tok say dem go share DPRK-linked threat intelligence through Crypto ISAC, tok say "di strongest security posture for crypto na di one wey everybody share." Dis move come as DPRK-related hacks cause about $577M loss for DeFi for 2026 (na about 76% of YTD hack value), especially for Drift Protocol and KelpDAO. Ripple feed get contextual enrichment, no be only IOCs — e cover known domains and wallets plus indicators wey join active campaigns and profiles of suspected DPRK IT operatives. Report show say dem don shift reach social engineering and longer-term laundering. For Drift (SOL), TRM estimate say about $285M dem steal via six-month manipulation-enabled pre-authorized withdrawal scheme. For KelpDAO, attackers reportedly compromise RPC nodes, inject false data into LayerZero’s DVN, mint 116,500 unbacked rsETH, then borrow about $196M ETH on Aave. For traders, dis Crypto ISAC intelligence sharing fit small short-term plus for defense readiness, but e still show ongoing state-linked risk — expect security headlines to keep risk management for focus.
