North Korea's $285M Crypto Heist, China Breaches FBI System, Delve Faces New Allegations

Host David Shiple covers major cybersecurity news: investigators attribute a record $285 million April 1 hack of crypto platform Drift Protocol to North Korea, describing a three-week setup involving a fake "Carbon Vote Token," wash trading to inflate value, social engineering to pre-approve backdoored transactions, Drift's removal of a timelock, and rapid collateralized withdrawals that crashed Drift's token and are now tracked by TRM Labs; the report notes North Korea's 2025 crypto theft total of $2.5B and lifetime total surpassing $7B after this incident, alongside mention of a North Korea-linked supply-chain compromise of the widely used Axios package. Stryker Medical says it has fully recovered from a March 11 Iran-linked wiper attack that used a compromised admin account and Microsoft Intune, prompting Microsoft guidance on multi-admin approval for wipes. The FBI labels a suspected China-linked breach of a U.S. surveillance system a "major incident," likening it to the 2024 Salt Typhoon campaign, while Sen. Mark Warner cites staffing cuts and leadership turmoil at CISA. TechCrunch reports embattled compliance startup Delve faces new claims it repackaged an open-source tool (Sim Studio) as its own "Pathways," as Delve denies broader fraud allegations, says it was targeted by a malicious actor, and Y Combinator cuts ties.
