The U.S. Marshals Service suffered an alleged cryptocurrency theft that put more than $46 million in seized assets at risk and exposed a major compromise of government-controlled funds. The theft was linked to abused access at CMDSS, the contractor managing seized digital assets for the agency. The case later drew blockchain tracing and law-enforcement scrutiny, tying the loss to wallet movements and a suspect now under arrest.

Elliptic and TRM Labs attributed the $280+ million theft from Drift Protocol to North Korean hackers, and Drift said its findings point with medium-high confidence to UNC4736 (AppleJeus/Labyrinth Chollima). The investigation also said the attackers spent at least six months building a functioning operational presence inside the Drift ecosystem, posing as a quantitative firm, meeting Drift contributors at crypto conferences in multiple countries, and continuing discussions over Telegram.
