In short,
Japan is short on naphtha → Japan can't produce semiconductor materials → This could bring the world's semiconductor fabs to a halt.
Fuck it, send the damn oil to Japan already.
The most insane long game hack of all time!
North Korea built an entire trading firm
Conference passes
In-person meetings
Multiple countries
Half a year of Telegram messages and working sessions
Even $1M of their own capital deposited to look legitimate
Then when all the pieces were in place they stole $280M
Drift just released the full incident background and it’s wild!
Fall 2025: A "quant trading firm" approaches contributors of Drift at a major conference.
They Follow up in person across multiple countries. Technically fluent. Verifiable backgrounds. Typical trust building stuff.
December-March: They onboard a real Ecosystem Vault and attend working sessions
They even deposit $1M to further build ‘trust’
The long con had set in and by early 2026, these weren't strangers anymore
They had now built a 6-month working relationship
Then they share some repos which is routine stuff
The attack vector: a VSCode/Cursor vulnerability flagged by the security community throughout late 2025. Opening a file was enough. Silent code execution. No prompt. No warning. Nothing.
The moment the exploit fired, every Telegram message and trace of malware was scrubbed clean
No record or trace left
Every team managing meaningful TVL is a target and no one is safe from professional jobs such as this
Six months of infiltration and a trusted relationship, not just a sketchy email link
The bug is patched but the real attack vector was the relationship and patience
How do you protect against that? 🤯
Quantum? Nothing burger.
First: These big corporations will not hand their quantum computers to theoretical researchers to break blockchains.
Second: Breaking blockchains to steal money is still = stealing money = against the law.
Third: By the time people with the intention to rob blockchains using quantum tech get their hands on it, devs would’ve patched resistance into them.
@BisphamGreen@dbull888@k3ithmccullough I keep seeing no one believes in a TACO anymore. Relief rally and then fall into correction fear -20% S&P.
5% inflation by end of year.
Even the best have to manage their temperament.
One could say they are the best because they can do so regardless of market conditions. No matter the stress.
Druck used to puke “once or twice a week from anxiety” during drawdowns and had “imposter syndrome” for at least 15 years running Duquesne.
His advice to those suffering like that?
Get over it. 🤔 ✍️ 👌
I’m convinced 99% of X are NPCs or seagulls with the Clarity Market Structure Bill.
Forcing dollar denominations and nuking a lot of stablecoins is not good for liquidity.
Handing control over to banks through flow of funds, then banning yields will not suddenly cause Bitcoin and altcoins to moon.
This is a bill for bank chokepointing because banks are afraid digital asset startups will disrupt their .39% interest checking accounts.
They managed to lobby the administration to get this through after competitors found loopholes with the Genius act
Sad to see people parroting bank lobbyist lies like “trillions flowing into Bitcoin and altcoins” without actually looking what’s inside the bill.
@MetabolicUncle The format is the label. First-person villain confession is a literary device. The facts are DOJ documents. The cringe is institutional. The satire just frames it.
