🚨 Event recap: North Korean hackers steal $292 million, protocol parties embroiled in "scapegoating" controversy

Core event:
North Korean hacker group (Lazarus Group) exploited a security vulnerability in LayerZero's underlying communication protocol to steal $292 million worth of crypto assets from KelpDAO.
Public focus:
After the incident, the involved parties did not join forces to fight the threat but instead engaged in public blame-shifting.
LayerZero statement: They accused KelpDAO of insisting on using a high-risk "1-of-1 DVN" (single validator) configuration, ignoring official recommendations for multi-validation redundancy.
KelpDAO's situation: They were criticized for sacrificing security for cross-chain efficiency, leading to a single point of failure exploited by state-level hackers.
Industry warning:
This incident exposes a "responsibility vacuum" within the DeFi Lego ecosystem—when infrastructure and application layers depend on each other, who defines the security boundaries?
