Hyperliquid, a Layer 1 blockchain and decentralized exchange, experienced a decline in token value and total value locked (TVL) after reports of potential involvement by North Korean hackers.
Security expert Taylor Monahan flagged suspicious wallet activity linked to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), leading to a 20% drop in the HYPE token price and TVL.
Hyperliquid denied any breach, stating that there has been no DPRK exploit.
The incident highlights the ongoing risks of cyberattacks in the DeFi sector.
