Ripple is sharing its internal intelligence on North Korean hackers with the Crypto ISAC to help crypto firms detect coordinated social engineering attacks. Recent breaches like the $285 million Drift hack involved long-term infiltration and malware, not smart contract bugs, allowing North Korean operatives to steal over $500 million in a month.
