    Drift Protocol drained of $270M+ after signers pre-signed durable-nonce admin transactions

    On Apr 1, 2026, an attacker took admin control of the Solana perps exchange Drift and drained its vaults of at least $270 million; SlowMist lists $285 million. Weeks earlier, Security Council signers had been led into 'unauthorized or misrepresented' approvals. Because those transactions used durable nonces, they stayed valid until the attacker chose to submit them. The funds were bridged to Ethereum, including more than $230 million in USDC via Circle's CCTP. No code bug was needed. The lesson for teams is that any durable-nonce signing request is high risk.

    Wasabi Protocol vaults drained of $4.5M after attacker uses a compromised deployer admin key

    On 30 April 2026 an attacker used the compromised key of wasabideployer.eth, an ordinary wallet that held Wasabi's only ADMIN_ROLE, to grant themselves admin rights with no delay. A helper contract then upgraded the perp vaults and Long Pool on Ethereum and Base to malicious code that emptied them. CoinDesk put losses at about $4.55M; Blockaid flagged the attack. Wasabi LP holders were urged to revoke approvals to the vault contracts.
