BlockBeats message, April 2, SlowMist posted an analysis of the Drift theft incident, pointing out that during the week before the attack, Drift adjusted its multisig mechanism to “2/5” (1 old signer + 4 new signers) and did not set a time lock (timelock). The attacker then obtained administrator privileges, forged CVT tokens, manipulated the oracle, disabled security mechanisms, and transferred high-value assets from the liquidity pool.

At present, the stolen funds have mostly been consolidated to Ethereum addresses, totaling about 105,969 ETH (about $226 million). SlowMist said that the related fund flows are still being continuously tracked.
