The Drift Protocol hack was two hours old when this conversation started — and Taylor Monahan, security expert and SEAL 911 member, was already deep in the incident response room.
In this segment, Kain Warwick, Taylor, and Luca Netz break down the mechanics of the attack: the compromised admin key, the connection to the Axios supply chain exploit, and how DPRK malware steals session tokens to bypass 2FA entirely. Taylor walks through what EDR actually does that antivirus doesn’t, why rotating physical devices is non-negotiable for crypto founders, and how these attacks go undetected for months.
Kain Warwick is founder of Infinex and Synthetix. Taylor Monahan is a security expert and former MetaMask lead. Luca Netz is CEO of Pudgy Penguins.
This clip is from a longer conversation on the Drift Protocol hack, DPRK malware, and the Claude Code source leak. Full episode here.
