CoinDesk reports that Pyongyang-linked hackers drained $577 million from two DeFi platforms in April.
The report frames this as more than a one-off theft. It underscores an escalating threat to crypto markets, with the attackers targeting DeFi specifically.
TRM, referenced via CoinDesk in its linked Decrypt story, ties this activity to North Korea-backed groups and describes the size of the take as significant enough to matter for market confidence. The specific platforms are not named in the source text you provided.
For readers, the key point is not the drama. It is the pattern. CoinDesk highlights DeFi as a repeat target, which raises the odds that similar incidents stay on the table as long as DeFi security and oversight remain inconsistent.
