RT Drift: Unauthorized Access to Drift Protocol via Durable Nonce Exploit

RT Drift — Earlier today, Drift Protocol reported that a malicious actor obtained unauthorized access through a previously unseen attack path involving durable nonces. The incident led to a rapid takeover of administrative authority held by Drift's Security Council. Drift described the operation as highly sophisticated, indicating it likely involved weeks of preparation and a staged rollout. The attacker is believed to have used durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions and delay their execution.
