According to a Forbes article, DeFi experienced its worst month of losses in history, with over $606 million stolen from more than ten protocols in less than three weeks. Among them, the Drift and Kelp DAO incidents caused losses of $285 million and $292 million respectively, accounting for approximately 95% of the total losses. The article suggests this highlights that DeFi risks are no longer limited to smart contract code. Drift exposed issues like missing human signatures, governance permissions, and time locks, while Kelp DAO revealed risks related to cross-chain validation, RPC nodes, and off-chain infrastructure. The stolen rsETH later entered lending protocols like Aave, spreading risks to larger DeFi markets. The article states that future risk assessments for DeFi protocols should go beyond code audits and also focus on collateral sources, cross-chain bridges, oracles, governance structures, and off-chain dependencies. https://(wublock123.com)/news/defi-worst-month-606m-stolen-in-3-weeks-60454
