Following the security incident affecting Drift Protocol on 1 April 2026, trading operations at Illuminatek were temporarily suspended while the situation was assessed and the execution infrastructure reviewed.
The incident affected capital held on the platform and highlighted risks that trading rules alone cannot control. Platform security, custody arrangements and access to funds remain separate considerations from strategy performance.
Illuminatek is transitioning trading operations away from Drift to a different execution setup. Changing platforms does not eliminate security or operational risks, and no assumption is being made that funds will be protected or recoverable following a future incident.
During the pause, further development work has been carried out on the trading software, signal rules, analysis tools and execution process. Testing is ongoing to assess how these changes behave in live conditions.
Trading will resume once the testing and migration work is complete. The timing remains subject to that process.
The website’s performance statistics will exclude the inactive period from active trading averages. The published trading series will also exclude the capital loss associated with the Drift incident and resume using replacement capital. It will therefore show the tracked trading results rather than the company’s overall financial outcome including that loss.
Further updates will document the resumption of trading and live tracking.
