LayerZero Points to Kelp's Security Setup as Cause of $290 Million Exploit, Links Attack to North Korea's Lazarus Group
LayerZero has attributed the $290 million exploit of Kelp DAO to the protocol's single-verifier configuration, a setup the company had warned against. According to LayerZero, the attackers, believed to be associated with North Korea's Lazarus Group, compromised two remote procedure call (RPC) nodes that LayerZero's verifier relied on, and then launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attac…
