The post Court Lets Arbitrum DAO Transfer $71M in ETH Tied to North Korea Hack to Aave appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A Manhattan federal judge has allowed Arbitrum DAO to move $71 million in frozen Ether to Aave, clearing the path for the DeFi protocol’s recovery effort following a North Korea-linked exploit. Judge Margaret Garnett of the Southern District of New York issued the order on Friday, modifying a restraining notice that had locked the assets inside Arbitrum DAO. The modification permits an onchain governance vote to send the funds to a wallet controlled by Aave LLC, and explicitly protects anyone who participates in the transfer from being held in violation of the freeze. The order still keeps the terrorism victims’ legal claim on the funds, meaning Aave can’t use the funds freely and could be forced to hand them over if the court ultimately rules in the terrorism victims’ favor.

On Apr. 18, attackers that Chainalysis preliminarily linked to Lazarus compromised RPC infrastructure, forced a failover to poisoned nodes via DDoS, and injected false data into a 1-of-1 DVN configuration on KelpDAO’s rsETH bridge. The forged message released approximately 116,500 rsETH, and Aave’s incident report confirmed that Ethereum accepted nonce 308 while the Unichain source endpoint never advanced past 307. The attacker supplied the compromised rsETH to Aave and borrowed against it, resulting in bad debt and serving as a frame for the current state of DeFi’s security. Exploiters extracted over $635 million across 28 incidents in April, the worst monthly total in over a year. DefiLl
