Former Drift Labs Marketing Head Ann Irvina Ravinther said that the recent Drift hacking incident showed that DeFi still has a long way to go in terms of security. In an interview with DL News, she stated, "Because of this, it will be difficult for DeFi to be accepted into traditional financial markets. We need to regain trust. While cryptocurrency and DeFi professionals generally accept these changes and consider them part of development, the industry must first mature to accept general investors. Unfortunately, that is not the case now." She left Drift Labs last February and is reportedly among those who suffered cryptocurrency losses amounting to $76,000 in the recent hacking incident. Whether the funds have been recovered is unknown.
