   "summary": "In early September 2025 THORChain co-founder John-Paul Thorbjornsen got a Zoom link from a friend's hacked Telegram account, joined in his browser and, by his account, saw a deepfake of his friend with no sound before leaving. An old MetaMask wallet of his was later drained of about $1.35M in Kyber Network and THORSwap tokens (PeckShield valued it at about $1.2M); he believes the key was reached through iCloud Keychain or a zero-day. ZachXBT attributed the theft to North Korean hackers, and THORChain said the protocol itself was not affected."
