Decentralized finance company Drift confirmed a security incident after suspending withdrawals and deposits, with the platform stating it was "experiencing an active attack" and working to "contain the incident." Security researchers and blockchain data suggest significant losses, with CertiK estimating around $136 million stolen while crypto analytics firm Arkham put the figure at approximately $285 million. If confirmed, this would make the Drift hack the largest crypto theft of 2026 according to the Rekt leaderboard. The attack highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in DeFi platforms and the sophistication of modern crypto hackers. Drift's response included immediate suspension of platform functions and coordination with multiple security firms, bridges, and exchanges to track stolen funds and contain the incident's impact on users and the broader DeFi ecosystem.
