Odaily Planet Daily reports: Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, posted on X that Drift Protocol has confirmed it was attacked; the specific source is still under investigation. This incident was not caused by a program or smart contract vulnerability, but is more likely related to operational security or social engineering. It should be clarified that although this event occurred on a project within the Solana ecosystem, any protocol relying on multisignature mechanisms on any chain could potentially face similar risks. Therefore, the Drift security incident is an isolated case and does not indicate a systemic issue with Solana DeFi or related products. After the full investigation is complete, the industry is expected to draw important lessons, and the Solana DeFi community will swiftly recover and rebuild.
